Second, I would like to continue this type of dialog between all the faithful readers of the Tiny House Blog by encouraging you to get involved in the Tiny House Forum. The forum is now a part of the Tiny House Blog and can be found in the menu above.

I have been feeling overwhelmed lately, just trying to keep up with everything that is going on. I have been posting every day for the last year and a half and have not taken a break, even when on vacation. I currently have a backlog of over 300 post suggestions, projects and more coming in every day. So please be patient if yours does not show up on the blog right away. Please continue to send in suggestions but also use the forum as a place to show off your projects and share articles. Those of you on Facebook and are fans can also share on the Tiny House Blog’s fan page. Plus I would still like to help with Meet Ups across the country.

Today I get a break from the computer and will be joining Jay Shafer and Steve Weisman from Tumbleweed Tiny Houses at West Coast Green in San Francisco. I also will bring you a report from last Sunday’s visit to Solfest, where I was able to visit with Lloyd Kahn from Shelter Publications and met several other interesting people. Stay tuned…

As many of you know Michael Janzen and I work together on the Tiny House Forum. You will be interested to know that Michael  just did  an upgrade to the Tiny House Forum to a forum system called bbPress.

The new system feels a lot more user friendly and should thwart spammers a little better. bbPress is made by the same people that make WordPress, the blogging platform most of us use. If you’d like to take part in more tiny house conversations online please check out Tiny House Forum.

Michael Janzen (tinyhousedesign.com) and I were talking a while back and it occurred to us the tiny house world probably could use a real Tiny House Forum. Several readers of the Tiny House Blog have suggested that it would be a good idea as well.

A forum is different than a blog. A blog is a bit more of a one way communication tool. Forums are for true discussions where everyone is on even footing.

The Small House Society Yahoo Group is also a great place to chat about tiny house living but with so much happening in the tiny house world it seemed like an open forum might be a good addition to the tiny house online world.

We’ve been setting it up for a couple weeks but today we’re officially opening the virtual doors. We hope you’ll come and chat at TinyHouseForum.com
