Ebbs and Blogs

One of the interesting sessions I went to at NorthernVoice was the Blogs are Dead; Long Live the Blogger session facilitated ably by Chris Lott. There’s a write-up on this wiki; as usual a lot of thought-provoking stuff was said, only some of which I’ve found recorded. I’ve noticed changes myself over the last few [...]

I’m hoping that going to the Northern Voice [...]
