This is the presentation I gave at the Type-A Mommy Bloggers conference in Asheville, NC, last month. Unfortunately I only had about 45 minutes as I would have loved to have gone into a lot more detail. Additionally, the conversations around these issues with those who attended the session were fantastic. So, please don’t hesitate to leave comments and ask further questions. And always feel free to email me.
Next weekend I will be at the Type-A Mom conference in Asheville, NC. On Saturday, September 25, I will be speaking in the Dad Track titled “Building Blocks of Blogging”. I will be discussing the different blogging platforms, their relative advantages, and then some of the must-do steps to make sure your blog is noticed and secure. The session is currently scheduled for 1:15 pm in the Alexander Room. Please stop by and say hello. And yes, of course, I will be doing a give-away! That’s right – prizes.
I can’t wait to meet everyone at the conference. Well, first of all Asheville is one of my favorite places in the world and I will take any opportunity to go there. The scenery is beautiful, the food is good, and the people are warm and friendly. But seriously in this case I am really looking forward to networking with all the people attending the conference. I have been harassing many of them on Twitter for quite a while, so it will be nice to finally meet them.

I seek to empower people by making technology a vehicle for driving businesses and communities. Just as you drive a car without worrying about how the engine operates, I will take care of your information systems as a data mechanic. This lets you drive the technology, instead of it driving you. I provide social media, web development and PC and Macintosh support services for small businesses and not-for-profits in Charleston and the surrounding South Carolina Lowcountry.
