I also appreciated on the C-NET page when you said something to the effect of "they spoke (and at times at great length) about their topics" It gave me a warm feeling knowing my lengthy explanations and all that really impacted some people.... let's not forget the lady who fell asleep during my portion....Talk to you soon!

Thanks for your words of encouragement! It was great to see you this past weekend. I am rejuvenated and feel like I can take on the world! Hope you have a great Turkey Day, and I'm sure we'll talk again soon :o)

At 2:28pm on November 24, 2008, Kari Lee Siko said…: It was great to see you also - thanks for talking with H about your experiences! I can't wait for SITE and would love to participate in the SIG:)

Stay warm

At 1:46pm on November 24, 2008, Stergios Botzakis said…: I can't be blamed - it was cable-knit and oh so soft! :P
Yay, now we are ning friends!

At 10:34am on October 9, 2008, Tara Star Johnson said…: Thanks! But yours in England is much cooler! Hey, do you remember offhand where we're staying and roughly how much it is per night? Gotta do that *&$% travel authority...

At 2:43pm on August 28, 2008, Kim Pyne said…: No kidding. :) Have you made conference plans yet?

At 2:39pm on August 18, 2008, Sara Kajder said…: Lunch, dinner AND drinks? Sounds good to me!

Amanda Triplett replied to Charles Youngs's discussion 'Best Practices for Dealing with "Terms of Service"?' in the group Blogging Teachers

Well, I'm one that usually reads but sometimes continues on despite what it says. I'd like to change that, because in most of my circles, it's not a big deal. I'm teaching a number of 10-12 year old writers, who want to use Nings and Blogs and suc...
