Today I am going talk about my favorite speaker at the conference. She's not in the news clip but that's okay. Lorelle VanFossen is cool, she deserves a whole TV show for herself! In addition to being cool she did a much better write up of the conference then I ever will.
I love seeing women in the techie/geek world. We were definitely a minority but we were there! Lorelle is great! I think she may have missed her calling as a public speaker/comedian though.
She spoke about creating "Kicking Ass Content Connections". Some tips she offered on starting a blog conversation were to:
- not write for your 8th grade teacher (your blog does not have to be an essay)
- don't blog the whole idea - leave some room for your readers to respond, incomplete thoughts allow your readers to respond.
- link back to other bloggers
- comment on other's blogs

Oh my gosh! I miss out on so much :( This is absolutely wonderful that you got to go! I am sooooo jealous though! Ack. I dream of having a good blog...but then again, I just posted on one of them and noticed it'd been a month since I'd posted. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in blogdom :)
Lorrelle is awesome and I always learn so much from her. Keep the posts coming...I have to live vicariously through your experience.

Thanks for the kind words. I had so much fun, I didn't want the weekend to end!
