Laura: nope, although we might do a survey

Hi Laura:

Good question. No, we won't have people register for specific sessions, although we might take a page out of SXSW's book and do an attendee survey to gauge interest and get an idea of which rooms to put which sessions in.

Registration for Sessions

Hey just a question - once we've registered for the conference, is it also necessary to register for individual sessions or will that be a first-come first-served free for all? Just curious.

Laura

Ah, perfect! Great idea

Ah, perfect! Great idea Elisa. I was hoping there would be a session at some point on writing, and Lisa Stone is the ideal person for the task.

Session change on aforementioned Day One schedule

Elisa Camahort — Sun, 05 Feb 2006 12:41:40 -0600

Thought I'd call out the one session we decided to change from the original Day One schedule:

Gone is the session on Syndication.

When we took a look we realized that syndication is a part of many larger discussions:

-Blog Beginners will learn about how to enable RSS feeds in the Blog in a Box session.
-Syndicating content will be a component of the Audience Building session.
-Using feeds to monitor and track is a key part of the Tagging & Tracking session.

This was a case where how you use the technology is the real topic at hand, not the technology itself.

So, in its place: a session that I have received numerous emails about: writing. The interesting thing about the emails I got requesting a session focused on writing was that the requests came from newer bloggers and seasoned bloggers alike.

Well, you're thinking, duh! I mean blogging and writing, who'd a thunk?

So, welcome our new addition to the Day One Schedule:

Ten Types of Web Writing: And how to execute them professionally. Lisa Stone walks you through everything from short-form sign post blogging to long-form essay blogging.

Hope it piques your interest.
