Anyway

One of the reas­ons I like going to North­ern Voice is that it always gives me lots to think about, in terms of what to write about on my blog, what tech­nical tricks to try out, and how to write bet­ter. Other people choose their blo­giversary, or maybe New Year’s Day, but I find North­ern Voice to be bet­ter. One reason of course is the num­ber of enthu­si­astic people there talk­ing about blog­ging and social media and how they use them.

All of which is a long way of say­ing that this year I’ll be look­ing for more of that spark, that enthu­si­asm in the speaker sub­mis­sions. What talks will make me happy to be blog­ging, will give me incent­ive to make my blog bet­ter, will tell me of inter­est­ing things to try? What talks would make me want to start blog­ging, if I weren’t already? The dead­line is Monday, Decem­ber 10th, so you don’t have long to pol­ish those ideas (and we can’t take late sub­mis­sions as we’re select­ing talks that same week and we do need to read them first). For other views on what we’re look­ing for, check out Darren’s post­ing, or Brian’s. Brian also has some pho­tos of the party spot for the Thursday even­ing as an added incent­ive to go there and read what he has to say. Once you’re ready, sub­mit your idea while it’s fresh and before you forget.
