Send Steve to BloggerCon Update

I've got a little more news this morning. I received a $100 pledge, carrying the total to $105.00! That's a significant vote of faith–thank you.

I spent some time talking to my local NPR affiliate this morning about the conference and the opportunities for news or feature stories. Not only did they express an interest in the content, but had some great questions about how they could use the technology on their website. We set up a meeting for next Friday where I'll do a short presentation.

To be sure that donors understand, I'm committed to going to the conference. I will be attending, even if it's my own money that's spent. It's rare to be at the right time and place when opportunity knocks. Considering how loud it's knocking, how can I resist?

Next week, I'll be posting the Keynote/PowerPoint presentation I'll be using to woo sponsors and unveil a revamped layout for the category pages we're using.
