The first BlogU in Crystal City, VA, was a great success with comments like: “an idea generating day”, “techie yet friendly”, “just what I needed”.
Highlights for me included:
New download — Blogger for Word — I missed it at the bottom of the home page
Great design and color tips — check out ColorBlender, and remember if you play around with your design, save the last best design so you can always return to that one!
And lots of good design tips at Dive into Accessibility.
Allowing comments on your blog allows you to know your audience — we had a great discussion on this topic.
Getting stats on blog use is tricky but possible.
