Adrian,

Site analytics are good. If you put the effort into maintaining a site it is good to know that people are using it.

As you requested, I have a word of the week blog which I include on my business site (that way I can kill two birds with one stone—ie write a blog which I enjoy and keep my business site dynamic with regular, new content), which might be of interest to the poetry crowd:

This week I look at bumf, which does have a strong poetry link.

Regards

Tim

Thanks for the welcome, Adrian.

It's great what you've done here, with the website. For us, who are just emerging (as poets), this site gives us a space to think, reflect and observe. Having observed for a while, I thought, it would be better to join rather than sit by the sidelines.

Thanks for the welcome, Adrian.

 

A great way to get to know what others write, and maybe to share one's writing.

Hey Adrian, 

 

Would you be able to add a blog to the blogroll for me? The Something Else blog is slowly getting warmed up but I intend for it to contain interesting discussions about the things we talk about on the show - so lots of poetry and arts!

 

The address is http://somethingelse897fm.wordpress.com

 

Cheers,

Justine

Thanks for the welcome Adrian! I like to get up to Wollongong's northern suburb now and again, but to be truthful I am more Murrumbidgee than Tasman Sea which can affect my poetic perspective as salt spray sometimes burns these inland eyes.

Hey Adrian, I like what you're doing with this site. The newsletter was very informative, and funny too! Looking forward to more. If you'd like to add my (pseudo) blog to the roll, that'd be sweet (nothing special, just a page for some of my poems, and the odd thought): http://tobyfitch.blogspot.com 

Speak to you soon!

Thanks for the welcome.

 

Will get onto looking at all this stuff.

I only started writing again 3 weeks ago.  And since I have written 70 or so poems.

Some are written on my phone while at the pub, others while I am sitting at my computer waiting for a guest.

 

anywho, thanks for putting together such a great site.

Thanks Adrian,

I'm a uni student and I'm really nervous about my poetry so I'm really happy that I found this site.

Thank you for everthing you do for Sydney poets and poetry Adrian.

Can you and the wonderful Ms S please pencil in Tues 27th September at 7 pm - that will be my one woman show at The Sydney Fringe festival probably called Poet Tree. It will be on at The Sound Lounge at The Seymour Centre. It's a hell of a lot bigger than Madam Fling Flong's but they are not going to be available as a venue this year (sob) so I just have to be brave and drag every blood relation and anyone I meet on the busm along to the show.

Thanks for the Welcome Adrian. To be honest I became interested in Sydney Poetry.com as I am looking for away to link Ipswich Poet's together and stumble across site. Now I'm looking forward to 'hanging out' and being inspired.  Deb (No none calls me Debbie)

Thank you Adrian.

Sorry Adrian. I didn't see this comment until now. PIFF, after some pressure via the ASA and AP, changed their conditions so that they didn't take the world. A mild success. They still do not, however, pay the poets, or even suggest that the winning film might have rewards for the poet as well. Still sucky in other words.

Gday Adrian - thanx for the welcome! I don't get to Sydney very often but I thought I might as well join up to see what's happening around town. (Thanks to yr site I'll be @ Sappho's tomorrow night having a go at open mic - if I can get there early enough to get my name on the list!)

 

Cheers,

Rob Walker

Hi Adrian - thanks for the welcome! I'm still getting everything sorted, but am very excited to be here. I'm in the process of starting a tumblr thing for the City Poet role, which will have a few things - profiles, mini-essays about lovely Australian poems and also a "diary of a city poet," which I guess I'm thinking of as small essays about things surrounding creativity. It's at sydneycitypoet.tumblr.com, but needs to have things like its prettiness addresses ASAP.

 

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone I can, and if you have any suggestions for things regarding the City poet role, I'd love to hear them.

 

I'm sure I'll meet you sometime soon!
