With many of my web clients snowed-in I have taken some time to work on developing The Open Mic Finder. \u00a0As I hone the tool's features and input the data content it is dawning on me how much potential I have to make this into something massive. \u00a0There are so many directions to work on. \u00a0Reviews, SatNav route maps, slick error reporting features, Image Galleries, Performer Profiles, statistics. \u00a0The list of potential additional features is endless. \u00a0Also, as I delve deeper into Google's search results I find more and more people who have done - with some degree of success - what I am attempting to do. \u00a0But this does not put me off. \u00a0Because I am confident that the additional functionality that I can provide will make my site the choice of travelling performers... provided I get the support of the Open Mic community! I don't want to tread on anyone's toes or get competitive, I just want to build and provide a really good information\u00a0resource.<\/p>\n

So, with a brain full of ideas and only a few hours each week to work on this I had to make a plan. \u00a0I could see myself easily ending up with a database containing details of 1 Open Mic Event in every town\u00a0across\u00a0Britain. \u00a0As tidy as that may sound it would never get the support of any single group of people. \u00a0This website needs that to become established. \u00a0If I concentrate on becoming the No. 1 information source for one town, then I can promote that success and move on to tackle other areas. \u00a0I should be able to expand efficiently, leaving stable foundations in place.<\/p>\n

So I have chosen to start with one of my favourite cities... Bristol. \u00a0Over the next few weeks I want to list all Open Mic Nights in Bristol<\/a> on The Open Mic Finder and this will of course involve a healthy batch of performing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

P.S. \u00a0My new years resolution is to really<\/strong> try to memorise my poetry so I can perform sans paper. Expressive arm movements and audience eye-contact here I come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
