I was invited to submit a story to Blogger Stories. Here’s mine:)

And an excerpt:

I’d like to say that I had a master plan. 5 years ago I was an unemployed bum with a few positive marks on my resume. Okay, two positive marks. First, I’d done Microsoft’s first website. And second, that I’d helped lead the Y2K project for the UK. The problem being that the Microsoft website was more than 6 years earlier, and the Y2K thing wasn’t very helpful immediately after the event (even though our project was a roaring success).

So I was effectively an unemployed bum with no prospects. And while going from that to a published author, marginally respected blogger, occasional speaker/consultant and owner of the third largest blog network in the world (b5media) might imply some kind of plan, the truth is that it was more blindness than planning. Literally.
