anyone else in my neighbourhood have one? I just started:
I noticed that Toronto has a photoblogger community and was wondering if anyone wanted to start something similar up...

I think there probably are only a few of us who are Vancity on NT I guess...

nah - there's tons of vancouver/ van island folk on NT.. maybe just no photobloggers... ?
btw.. how do you like that pixelpost?
- spiralstarez0
Pixelpost has been great so far - I'm not a developer and no only the basic PHP and I got it running pretty easily.
Can't say I've had others to compare I guess either, but it's doing everything I want it to.

how's web work in Nelson? She's giving me the soft sell on moving there all the time, but I don't want to cuff myself for opportunities.
Though I know there are a few nice ones there.

is there anything beyond Vaccum Sucks in Nelson?
- spiralstarez0
I think that's it for a creative agency, but I think there are other web/software based companies and small web companies.

Hi all.
If you're looking for cool Canadian photoblogs, one of the best is Urban Photo. It's based in Montreal, but also features other cities often.
Enjoy.

Sorry all for the long wait
here is my two centsWell, considering I have worked for the best companies in Nelson. When it comes to Web Design. And if you would have asked me this question about 6 months ago. I would have told you that if you were well known, “community wise” and also willing to sell yourself, you can find work no problem. But within the past 6 months, 3 web design shops have opened up right in town. Which makes it 7 not including all the freelancer’s. And since Selkirk College has its multimedia production and design program in Nelson now, “just completed its first year of grads”. I can safely say it will be harder to start your own shop up. Also to give you a insight on how many people do, or, “think” they can do web design as a job in the Nelson area, when I applied for and was hired at Blue Mandala, I was told that they had interviewed over 40 people for the job as a web designer. Also few girls I know just started up a business doing web design and branding, and they are even having a hard time finding work. I would think the best idea would be to move here, and buy a place to keep your girl friend happy and just live here for the summer. That’s what I am going to do.

Well Vaccum is new to Nelson area, and since they are new i dont think they are well known in the community as of yeat. The main two shops are Blue Mandala and Big cranium. But they you got Netidea which is a isp provider that has been in nelson since like 1992 lol. And they get alot of mom and Papa new business's... Also if you have heard of FreeRide the group that makes wicked extreme mountain bike videos, they are geting into web design. But you didnt hear that from me.. hehe
- vealemoble0
Also Nelson has 10,000 people by the way.
"But then" you got Netidea which is a isp providermy bad on typo
