Blog Savannah Unconference 08 lessons learned from a NEWBIE
I attended with much enthusiasm the Savannah Unconference and here are the top 10 things I learned.
10) Flickr isn’t what happens when a candle has reached it’s end.
9) I must be ready with a camera. Next year I’ll whip out a disposable camera when a photographer aims a camera at me.
8) I equate the RSS icon with the XM radio icon. All I could think of each time the acronym RSS was mentioned were the signing voices for each XM radio station mood.
7) Blogging may be a vehicle for introverts to find and speak their voice.
6) There are bloggers who want to get paid for what they do, and bloggers who want to have fun.
5) WordPress is free, Typepad is fee.
4) Still protected by the 1st Ammendement except for blatant defamation and inciting violence.
3) You can’t sell products- However you can blog, blog, blog away and hope the reader gets the hint.
2) My ponytail was crooked and my roots need a touch-up. Thank you photogs for posting pictures on flickr and making me realize that I need a hair appt. asap.
1) There are so many code words (html, usb, trackback, cache [not cash], moblogging, vlog, blog,) my head is in a FOG and this blogging is a new psychological construct.
These lessons from a Newbie in the blog world.

Hello world!
Welcome to WordPress.com. This is my first post. The world will never be the same!
About Me
I love life. This despite growing up in poverty, having one alcoholic parent, one mentally ill parent, being a teen mother, and being a high school drop out. Yes I dropped out of High School. I dropped out because of family chaos. It would be easy for me to be angry at the world and blame others for the cards I was dealt. I say ”we are not created equal“. Some of us have to struggle to reach our goals, in that regard I’m like the little engine that could. For those who struggle, you too shall find balance, humbleness, happiness and love. There may be uturns and detours throughout that process. Their may be hills to climb and tracks that are broken. However, it is my firm belief that everyone can be the best they can be given their circumstance and guided by sage advice, honest friends, and given a little push. Hence, the blog. Hope something sparkles within you while you visit my site. I would be honored and humbled by your presence.
Cheers,
Dr. Judy Halliday
