ProBlogger, the book
May 17th, 2008
Years ago I stumbled across Darren Rowse’s Living Room blog, about his experiences as pastor of an Emerging Church in Melbourne. A couple of years previously I had experimented with being an online diarist (we turned up our noses at weblogs, which were merely collections of links and web flotsam and jetsam). When I saw Darren’s blog, I knew I wanted one too. By strange co-incidence, it turned out that Darren had seen me at a mosque open-day that I had fronted once
So I started up Dervish and have had fun ever since. Since then I’ve spoken at his church and seen his blogging career launch into the stratosphere. My only regret is that his blogging at Living Room has dwindled into almost nothingness *sigh*.
When he announced his first book on professional blogging was about to be released I excitedly ordered a copy. I can say it’s well-written (co-authored with Chris Garrett), interesting, and is making me look at blogging in a new light. Well done Darren and Chris!!
