On a lark one night, after reading about Chris Wage’s commitment, I signed up to attend the admittedly vague-sounding BarCamp Nashville*, even going whole-hog and signing up to speak. I’m a total follower like that. Plus, I love a good mystery, so vague is exciting for me. Double plus, I’ve spoken before at PR firms and conferences and in front of med school classrooms, so I figured I could put together something insightful that could fill twenty minutes. I’m going to talk about blogging: increasing traffic/tips on getting read, privacy issues, “How to handle trolls: Learn from my mistakes,” and some other awesome, yet to be revealed mind-blowers. All in twenty minutes. Secure your (free! woo!) drink for the ride.
I’m excited to get out and see some of my peeps from ’round the sphere-of-blogs way. The speaker list looks good, and the (barf) networking possibilities plentiful. Sign up if you haven’t yet: It’s free, you’re getting free drinks, maybe free schwag, and it’s Saturday. Not even a football season Saturday, dude.
*It has since been thoroughly explained. I think.

Okay. You talked me into it. But ONLY if I’m an ex-fugitive by then, and can scoot on down there. The Saturday bus sched sux!

Brittney, I’m just glad I can say I knew you way back when … in ‘06. LOL. Good luck with Barcamp. :)
Well, there is pre-season football that evening…..LOL
i’ll be there, man.
Hi Brittney, so glad to hear you are not only attending but plan on speaking at a Barcamp. Awesome.
I for would certainly enjoy attending your session on “How to handle trolls” - I’ve had some recent challenges with them on a few mailing lists and I’m sure I could benefit from your experience/insights.
There is a good chance I will be at BarCampPaloAlto that “BarCampEarth” weekend. Hope you are doing well!
