Your blog doesn't live in a vacuum. It's connected to people, to other blogs, to an invisible ecosystem with influence on the real world.

Is that a community? Can it be managed, encouraged and motivated?

All bloggers are welcome to join us for the Alabama Bloggers February meetup. We'll have lunch at Cantina, a terrific taqueria with a mouthwatering menu, along with your questions and ideas on blog communities. Host Wade Kwon of the Birmingham Blogging Academy will facilitate the discussion.

Let us know you're coming with a comment below, please.

[And if you want to join the discussion on all things blogging, join the Alabama Bloggers Facebook group.]

We'll see you this month in Lakeview.
