Headed into the Cross on Friday night to meet a bunch of “mummy bloggers” for an evening of meeting, greeting and schmoozing at Kit & Kaboodle for Digital Parents Unplugged.
My pitch to the PRs – I’m not a mummy, I’m more of an Aunty. Oh and my business cards match my tights.
It was lovely to meet everyone there :) Especially Madam Bipolar who got stuck into the sushi up the back with me ;)
Admittedly, I don’t have the attention span for the talks at these things, but oh well!
Oooh sparkles!
The plan is to save my pennies to head to Melbourne for the conference. You know, for the people. Though this conference looks reasonably interesting content wise. Anyone want to sponsor me? I’ll totally wear your tshirt and babble about you on the blog for an air fare or a 4 star+ room ;)

Since I so won’t get to write up a post about the Nuffnang Canberra blogger meetup we organised for aages, you should go read Hannah’s post on it.
And comment on how cool this pic is:

Since I upgraded to the latest version of Akismet, it’s been working in overdrive! Maybe it’s the season, like getting waaaaay more junk mail, but the spammers have having fun, but fortunately, going through to spam.
UN-fortunately, a few of you have been sent into the spam filter. I know I’ve fished Veronica out of there recently. At least she was easy to find.
Why was she easy to find? Her little Gravatar next to her comment helped me when skimming the spam comments to see if there was anyone real in there. I love Gravatars, helps in getting that little bit more personality across – for those of you who are all for blog branding and crap stuff like that, you can carry it over more easily onto other people’s blogs. It also gets picked up by some forums and other sites when the manager is cluey enough to use a plugin for it. Beats uploading an icon each time!
So, I would suggest you get a Gravatar so I’m less likely to lose you if you accidentally fall into my spam folder!

Entering the scaring world of blogs, approximately 2 years after any reliable form of internet access was taken from me in my move to Canberra.
But, we reconnected recently – Virgin Broadband rocks!
Right now, I’m trying to get a handle on what wordpress is now capable of in this new age – playing with plugins and so forth – does anyone have any favourite plugins that I absolutely must utitlise?
It’s good to be back!
