It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and wrote a post. The last few months after a few weddings, family gatherings, and running into random people I’ve discovered that gotshoo.com gets quite a bit more that traffic than I thought from old friends and family. It’s really cool to think that people I might not otherwise talk to, point their browser here to get an update on not only myself, but Mrs. Shoo, Buddy and Clancy.
To make things even better this week, I was featured in the Spotlight in the A-E section of the paper. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I was extremely proud and carried the article with me everywhere on Thursday. Thanks again to Mr. Unpainted Huffhines.
In retrospect, I hope the article brings more attention to other Springfield bloggers, and of course spfldbloggers.com, out there because all of you are exteremely talented and interesting. Which it does, because today I got an email from Lincoln Studies as request to be added to spfldbloggers.com.
Reminder: Sunday is the unofficial meetup at the Sliders game.
While I’m discussing spfldbloggers.com, I am still working on 2.0 version of the site that would allow everyone to create their own version of the site. So if you wanted a list of blogs that were all about shoes, then you could put your own list together. There are already some sites that you kinda create your own list, but I don’t think they’re that good.
I am also working on a site that brings together the online world of Springfield Illinois and its business sites. It seems like every mom+pop - corporation has a site, but you never know where to look for it or it’s buried in a Google search. That site is coming along pretty well, so expect to see something in the near future.











Does your wife correct your grammar as much as I would LIKE to?
Yes, Betsy…he won’t let me read posts as he types them because I make him self-conscious. I try to tell him his mistakes so that he can fix them…but he doesn’t fix them.
Note taken.
I should let her, unfortunately she goes to bed before 10pm, and I post way after that.
Don’t worry Shoo. It’s part of your charm.
