Hope we meet again at the next event around town. From your blog I can see that you've had an extremely interesting and varied career. I'm looking forward to reading your posts as well, since I now know the blogger behind your blog as well. :) Hi Antoine,

It's nice to put a face to a blog or more accurately, the blogger behind the blog! Take care, Antoine Hi David,

I remembered your blog because I liked the name - anyway, just wanted to say it was nice meeting you at Northern Voice. It’s nice to put a face to a blog or more accurately, the blogger behind the blog!

Take care,
Antoine

It was great to see everyone again. This is one conference that you feel most "at home" with as it seems you know a lot of people but also meet so many. I found the presenters either very good or mediocre. Should have picked better. See you in a few months! Glad the cold is over. David - great write up! It was great to see everyone again.

The presenter in the last session was Alan Levine a.k.a. CogDogBlog (http://cogdogblog.com) I took some good notes in his presentation. I'm too sleepy to (reliably) format this up in HTML right now, but here goes: His original "presentation blog" done for a conference presentation about this same topic was http://cat-diaries.blogspot.com/ Some of his other blogs/designs that he showed us: - sl.nmc.org - virtualworlds.nmc.org - pachyderm.nmc.org - wp.nmc.org Particular pages he showed to demonstrate points: - virtualworlds.nmc.org/portfolio/colorado-tech - wp.nmc.org/mashups Blog post detailing how to go about customizing WP: - http://cogdogblog.com/2008/02/14/wordpressing-dissected/ Tip: Take the HTML copy&paste code blocks generated by Flickr, etc. and experiment with their generated code. For the intrepid non-programmer-geek: If necessary, do similar type of experimentations with MySQL queries to get the exact results you want pulled from WP's database. Delicious tag for this type of sites: notcatdiaries, i.e. the URL to see examples tagged by Alan (and everybody else) is http://del.icio.us/tag/notcatdiaries Some of the sites mentioned by audience members: - http://www.takuresort.com - done in WordPress, but doesn't look at all like a blog - http://allthingsd.com/ - done in WordPressMU (WordPress multiuser). But it is possible to separate the contents of different users on a regular WordPress blog by way of categories, etc. - http://truemors.com - based on WordPress. Good summary, David.
