What happens in Vegas… will be blogged
Husband Rich and I registered several months ago to attend the Blog World Expo, being held in Las Vegas tomorrow through Saturday….
I’ve been very much looking forward to this convention. I love blogging and think it holds such potential for pro-lifers. So I’m excited to learn how to improve my craft as well as get a handle on the social networking side of things and perhaps figure out a way to get this to pay for itself.
But I’m beginning to feel like I’m walking into another Democrat National Convention. I was perusing session topics this morning and spotted, “Blogging for change: How to influence healthcare through blogging.” I’m guessing this will not be about stopping nationalized healthcare. Why would they assume we’re all on the same page on this unless they assume most attendees will be liberals? I figure I can use whatever tricks they’ll teach for our side.
Ah, I just spotted a graphic on the site featuring Hugh Hewitt and Mary Katharine Ham, so there’s hope to see friendly faces…
There are many sessions I’m looking forward to attending that look like they’ll be great, generically helpful. And I’m happy Rich is going, too, because while he supports me and this blogging adventure, he doesn’t understand it too well. For that matter, neither do I. People would be shocked at how little I know about the tech end of things.
So stay tuned!
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Who would have guessed ten years ago that there would be such a thing as a Blog World Expo in Vegas? It looks very interesting. Have a great time, Jill!
Jill,
Can’t wait to hear about everything you learn at Blog World Expo! Thank you for staying on the cutting edge of technology for our movement, and please thank Rich for sharing you with the vital work you do!

Though I’m a committed technophobe (I’ll keep a written journal over a blog anyday), I hope that you have fun in Vegas!
Are you staying on the Strip?
Have fun at the Expo, see a show, eat some good food, and hopefully you’ll meet some other pro-life bloggers.
:)
Have fun, Jill. I wish I could go…although my husband probably wouldn’t let me. With topics like that, he’d probably be afraid he might have to come up with bail money for me.
you definitely need to go.
Christian bloggers need to keep current with what’s going on in the blogosphere.
This medium is one of our best ways to get past the culture of death rhetoric that is consuming our society.
God speed!
