I enjoyed your session on CSS very much. I had figured out some basics on my own, but it was so helpful to have someone who really knows what they're doing explain it step-by-step. .-= Angie at BlogCoach.org´s last blog ..Using bit.ly Stats to Build a More Successful Blog =-.

Skye, thanks for clarifying that. I knew I didn’t get it right.

My guess is that Nelly filled in for me during my second session, which was to be on Saturday, while I took my roommate to the hospital. .-= Skye´s last blog ..Your Top Tips For Making Your Blog More Accessible? =-.

Annie, yes I was in your session. I thought you did a great job of dealing clearly and logically with the basics of Twitter. It isn’t as easy as it looks to give a clear explanation of something to a beginner and you did it very well.

Tre, I’m sorry you missed it. Maybe next year? Before the conference Elisa solicited opinions from BlogHers about what they wanted in the geek lab. If you get to go, don’t forget to put in your two cents when the time comes. You are never the only one who needs to learn a particular thing. With 1500 attendees, people are all over the place in their learning curves.

No video of any sessions, although there were audio recordings of the panels and breakout sessions. Those will be on BlogHer eventually. There were no recordings in the geek lab.

Thanks so very much Virginia for this helpful summary…simply to know more of what went on during the labs and to get a sense for what folks wanted to learn. Are there videos of these sessions?
What were some ongoing questions or needs that could be addressed more thoroughly? I am grateful to see such a demand for coding…such a novice am I. There’s something to be said for the comfort level of learning with other newbies. So grateful to hear all were in such supportive hands. Sorry to have had to miss this year. Hugs for all you constantly outpour and give.

I thought I recognized you in the audience of my geeklab, but couldn’t place you! Now that I have found your post and your blog I’m connecting the dots. So nice to meet you.

Now I wish I’d attended your style sheet session…I have style sheet issues. Off to check out your materials on that.
