Can you believe we have been running this site for just over a month now. Time flies when you are having fun.

Just wanted to leave a few notes on here for folks to digest.

  • 1) I added a section on the sidebar to a special blogroll, linking out of town guests. Hopefully this list will grow in the coming months. It certainly seems that people are making an effort to come up to Toronto to get together with us.
  • 2) All emails regarding TAP can now be sent to torontophotoblogs@gmail.com. I set up a special gmail account specifically to deal with blogroll additions and other TAP correspondence.
  • 3) If you haven't noticed, I have set up a discussion mailing list. If you haven't signed up for it already, Now is a great time to.
  • 4) Check out the FAQ for other features of the site.
  • 5) You may have noticed that I have been posting the topics for the regular weekly meme stuff. In the past week, I have been suggesting that people leave comments on the post if they submitted to that specific meme. (ie Photo Friday)

    Also here are some numbers to crunch on.

  • We currently have 90 photobloggers listed in the Toronto Area.
  • We have 45 people whom have blogware accounts with posting access to the site.
  • We have 29 people who are subscribed to the mailing list.
  • Trafficwise, we are currently getting an average of at least 500 distinct hosts per day
  • We are also serving anywhere between 1000 to 1500 pages a day.

    So where do we go from here. Personally I would like to see more people posting more often. If everyone posted some content once a week, every week, it would be more than enough to get the ball rolling.
