A blog, (originally called a weblog), is a web-based journal in which people can publish their thoughts and opinions on the Internet. Anyone can start a blog. I know this because since late 2003 I have run my won. But thanks to some really awesome advances in personal computing and technology, in general, it’s become […]

Podcasting with Patrick Rodgers and Phil Sellers

Date January 25th, 2008 Comment 2 Comments

About twenty-five people are sitting here listening to Patrick talk about his background in podcasting. Perhaps better known for his podcast originally broadcast on The South magazine website and also found on iTunes, Patrick seems to be a great new voice in podcasting.

How can you? Growth is […]

Who’s game?

Wow! There are going to be over 100 Savannah bloggers sitting together
in one room? All that energy could be combustible, dontchay’all think?
Has anyone checked to make sure Armstrong Center is prepared in case our
discussions explode into a mushroom cloud of obscure adjectives and
grits?
I’m just concerned ’cause I’ve never been to a blogging conference
before. Sure, I’ve […]

Last minute butterflies about the big gig Friday?
Feeling not geek enough? Fear of being the only one not knowing the diff in Ruby and Tomato?
Just go. This is a fine venue with free parking … it’s going to be a GREAT event and I’m not prone to superlatives.
No geek-audits at the door, no tech-ability checks.
Anyone […]
