In Which I Pretend We're All At a Great Dinner Party Together

Friends! I'm hatching a plan. No, it doesn't involve world domination by way of cheese (though how awesome would that be?!) And I need your input.

Now, because I'm a blogging nerd who constantly checks her google analytics account, I know that there quite a few lovely people out there who stop by Yes and Yes every day. And I also know that about 2% of said lovely people leave comments here. Which is totally okay! Before I started my own blog I never, ever commented on blogs, regardless of how often I read them. Leaving comments can feel a bit public, especially if it's a more sensitive topic - break-ups, body image, career success - it can be a bit unnerving to announce to all and sundry that you're feeling fat and your boyfriend dumped you last week.

But I also know (based on some of our get-t0-know you posts and some of the more heavy-duty posts) that y'all are a smart, sassy, funny opinionated bunch. And I'd love to hear more about what you think on some of the topics that we delve into. I like to imagine Yes and Yes as a dinner party full of all the coolest kids I know - making witty jokes, trading travel tips, complementing each other's boots and confessing that we're all a little bit in love with Shakira. And in an effort to make this more of a dinner party for all of us and less of a one-woman show, how would you guys feel about a Yes and Yes message board?

It would give us a space to expand on some of the blog posts and topics that really interest us, ask each other for advice (instead of just me blathering on) and talk about stuff in a less public place. I could start topic threads and so could any of you charming people!

What are your thoughts? Or are you happy commenting away or lurking as you see fit? Really, if this is something you're not into, please do tell me so! I'd hate to be the only one at the message board party!
