I am going to the Type-A blog conference. This week. I can’t believe it. I am not ready and for the most part don’t even know how to get ready. I have checked out the site, printed off my ticket, looked at the site blog conferences for newbies, forgotten to twitter, became a fan on facebook….I have also, changed my blog header 6 times, tweaked my colors on my blog, finally switched to wordpress and a self hosted blog, figured out with help how to use ftp and rss feeds.

Now I still feel like I need to decide what to wear, what to take, get a new notebook, since I like to write notes not just type them….I also still need to do some actual work on my blog. I don’t know why I can’t have people leave comments, and I don’t know how to show my followers. I don’t know how to manage my time at home and working on my blog….but I do have some amazing business cards thanks to Katie and Megan!……and……thanks to David’s computer guys that drink coffee…….doing that mom balancing act is a little easier with a laptop.

I wrote part of this post while waiting on the bus this afternoon, caught up on my facebook and friend’s blogs while waiting for band to finish up this evening, and came home and told David that I still had not figured out the comments part of my blog. He reminded me that Thesis, the cool theme I am using, comes with a support forum. I checked out the forum, updated my askimet key (something I know I need but still do not understand) and checked my design options…and guess what?! COMMENTS!

So, off to bed I can go, with several things finished before I head into Asheville for the weekend!
