Greetings all,
Well, here is the second post regarding my efforts to get Britannia Nova (New England) active as a Byzantine territory in Byzantium Novum!
As I've mentioned, the goal of all this is to get a living, breathing "Byzantium Novum community" going in New England. Eventually the idea is to have many folks in the New England states participating in "things Byzantine" so we can have real live events and activities.
This month the big effort has been to start posting to the "free" classifieds on the Internet... Craigs List and Backpage. This month I put up ads on both sites for Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and also some in Massachusetts.
The result so far? Nothing. Amazingly I'm neither shocked or discouraged with this result... I didn't get them up until the second week of June. AND... it's summertime here. Who's spending their time checking Craig's List for stuff to do? Not many people.
The point really is to get myself in the habit of putting out a regular "Internet Presence" for Brittania Nova as a local Byzantine community. The more folks see the more legitimate and stable this effort will seem. It will also get me into the habit of posting regularly!
I don't really expect to see much Internet response before September around here. The winters in New England go on forever, and summer lasts about fifteen minutes. No need to get discouraged that people are outside in the sun right now!
