UpTake Blog Network – my day job

By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: February 4, 2009

This has probably not been a burning question for most of my readers (all 2 of you!), but I wanted to share with you my day job and let you know about a big announcement this morning.

For the last 18 months, I have been working at UpTake, a travel search start-up in Palo Alto. I helped them establish their blog, and now I work as the Lead Editor for Attractions, writing about things-to-do around the Bay Area. I work with a bunch of great bloggers, including Linda of minnemom, Barbara of Hole in the Donut and Rhea of Texas Word Tangle.

Today, UpTake announces the official launch of the UpTake Travel Blog Network, and I invite you to stop by the Attractions blog on UpTake and share your thoughts on our take on the best places to hang out!
