Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

As I have briefly mentioned in the past few weeks, we’re expecting a child pretty soon. Right now it looks like sometime in the next three weeks, so I’m going to be looking for guest posts to have on hand when that does happen. I’ll obviously be tied up with a lot of other issues, so I’ll probably be able to feature a good two weeks of guest posts to keep the site updated. If you are interested and think you have an idea for a post, please contact me.

For those of you that follow me on Twitter, you actually got the request for guest posts last night. I try to use Twitter for quick updates and other issues that might not warrant a blog post and the response last night was great and there are already a number of guest post spots filled. So, if you want to be ahead of the game and first to know about what’s happening with the site, be sure to follow me on Twitter.
