Cheers!

As I was setting this up, it occurred to me to make it a private site, so that it didn’t get overrun with people from very varied backgrounds and industries subscribing.

But perhaps that actually makes it harder to subscribe to and be part of?

What do you guys think? Best to keep it private and see how it goes, or open it up then lock it down later if it does get a little unwieldy?

If you’re free (or know someone who might be) for up to a couple of months from end August to mid October (or thereabouts), the NZ Rugby World Cup is looking for people. The event runs from 9th September to 9th October-ish.

Feel free to forward this info on and get anyone who wants more info, to email me: em@emmalineau.com and I’ll give you/them the hookup.

Feel free to invite any colleagues/mates you like to the site, using the USERS>Invites section of the Dashboard, inviting them to be a contributor. You can all, as contributors, write posts on the site. The more users, the better the site content will be!

A good thing to do is quickly update your Gravatar (the little pictures on the Sidebar menu). You can hover over different Gravatars, then select the user name to go to that person’s Gravatar page. Here you can list simple contact info so that other FILO users can get in touch with you directly if they like.

Primarily the site will be a blog, offering the chance to post gigs, professional development opportunities, social get-togethers and handy info.

We’re going to keep it fairly small to begin with, to enable us to work out any teething problems, and to ensure that people get the most out of the network. Any suggestions are heartily welcome!
