I second everything Adrienne and Kelsey said. We had to make a tone of decisions during the site development phase. What we learned during that process is that, if we didn’t strangle each other then, we can overcome any issue.

It all boils down to communication, compromise and trust. Without these three elements, a long distance partnership like ours would be difficult and stressful.

We also have an unwritten rule about decisions/projects. If two of us are in favor of something, the third person concedes (can’t think of a better word!!) to the other two. That’s not to say the third person doesn’t voice an objection. Our relatioship is such that we can voice concerns without offending each other. Having said that, this doesn’t happen often because we try really hard to make sure the three of us are on board with the final outcome.

This system has worked quite well for us. And we’re still buds!

I’m glad you mentioned how important the working relationship is between members of a group blog. I honestly think that’s been the secret of our successful partnership.

For those thinking of starting a group blog, take some time to really get to know your potential blogmates. It could save you lots of time and heartache down the road. I like to believe Adrienne, Tracey & I were put together through divine intervention . Our strengths compliment one another incredibly well!

Here’s to a great 2010 at RU!
