I’m reading & learning thanks to the Problogger Conference

 

Today I am reading, sorting, learning and tweeting. Hey what’s new!

Yesterday was a huge lift for me. It was just what I needed. It was so good to get amongst some of the best bloggers (and not so good!). A-M wrote a good summary of the day here. I have taken lots of notes and am hoping to start implementing them asap.

I had been umm-ing and ahh-ing about lots of things eg. wordpress, advertising, statistics… I have answers now and I hardly slept a wink.

I love that feeling you get when you are so pumped you are jumping out of your skin.

PS. I started reading the book The Help. Twitter has been telling me it’s great. Have you read it? Or seen the movie?

    Oh I couldn't sleep either. I went straight out and bought Tim Ferris's book, "The 4-Hour Work Week". Read practically the whole thing on the plane home. There was a little gem in every presentation wasn't there. It's good to learn new things. I was also particularly impressed that the conference coffee delivery was via a Nespresso machine… and a big one at that! A-M xx PS Have joined 'Hair Romance' too as I was particularly impressed with her hair. Mutsy, take a look. You need to start a bloggy.xx

    I bet there was much to learn and I've enjoyed reading through AM's tips too.

    Looking forward to seeing which direction you take K and if there are any changes afoot.

    Happy weekend Lovely Sparkler.

    Hi Katrina, funnily enough I saw the movie first and I loved loved loved it. After the movie I went and bought the book and loved that as well. The movie more or less sticks to the book. It's one of those rare things for me that I loved both. Sounds like the conference was great. I am doing Holly Beckers Blogging Your Way course, and thats been an eye opener for me. I want to do something with my blogging and am still in the process of making final decisions. So will you switch to WordPress?

    I might be coming to you for help on the WordPress front – would be keen to know what you figure out… Great to see you in person. x

    It must have been something in the coffee. 😉 I climbed into bed exhausted, but then couldn't sleep either.

    Such a great day! There are so many exciting new bloggy things to explore. 🙂

    I saw the movie & really enjoyed it.

    LOVED The Help movie, so I bought the book. Also really good, but so much more to the story than the movie!! Be prepared to cry.

    I feel this after all the conferences too, especially about word press!!!

    But, then I get busy, with things like reading, The Help is next on my list, this week I want to start Anna Funders latest book, which, thanks to blogging, should arrive in the next few days!
