I understand you can't go into too much detail, at least not if they have the same rules about not sharing too much of the presenter's talk, as there was at LA. But even knowing which sessions you attended, and a key point from each, would be great.Beth Stilbornhttp://www.bethstilborn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783555460519403235.post-26244082483633920352012-02-03T16:14:57.776-05:002012-02-03T16:14:57.776-05:00Right -- Sandie, why don't you join me (and ab...Right -- Sandie, why don't you join me (and about 1350 other people) at the LA Conference from August 3-6?

You have headings and numbers to seperate paragraphs, which makes them east to read.<br /><br />2. Some of the posts I've seen are way long. You might want to try trimming them down or splitting them up.<br /><br />3. I don't understand your subtitle. What are you going to do in your ten month war? What does it mean to have a war on dabbling?<br /><br />4. I like it when bloggers have a menu at the top where they group their posts by topic, include and "About Me," things like that. I think your blog would look better and be easier to navigate with one.<br /><br />I hope some of this was helpful!Teralyn Rose Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586129403789427592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783555460519403235.post-79221774543403344342012-02-03T13:20:53.220-05:002012-02-03T13:20:53.220-05:00Sandie, I imagine you mean the Winter conference. ...Sandie, I imagine you mean the Winter conference.
