How has Urban Yukon affected your blogging? “What’s Up Yukon” wants to know.

I’ve been asked to write a small piece about Urban Yukon for What’s Up Yukon, Yukon (the sentence just felt like it needed three territories). I’d like to include the opinion of some fellow bloggers on what Urban Yukon has meant to them and their writing. Has it pushed you to write more often? Has it introduced you to interesting people and new friends? Have you completely ignored it since signing up that one regrettable drunken evening?

Of course, the deadline for my piece is the morning of Monday, January the 10th, so anything you could send me by the weekend would be most appreciated. Just leave a comment here, or write to me directly at urbanyukon@yukondude.com.

If all goes well, I may be asked to write another about blogging in general, so any ideas you have on that topic are also most welcome.

What else would you want from Urban Yukon?

Simply adding features to Urban Yukon won’t necessarily make it better, and might make it worse, but it’s the beginnings of a discussion about UY’s purpose and future.

Also, asking the question gives me a chance to play around with the WP-Polls plugin.

If you want to add something, just put it in the comments and I’ll see if I can slip it into the poll after the fact.

Some of these are easier than others (the last one’s especially simple), but each is certainly do-able.
