BlogIndiana’s conference wiki is live at http://wiki.blogindiana.com - we’re starting to add content now. If you have something to add, by all means go at it. I’m learning about mediaWiki as I go, so bear with me.
It’s after midnight, the news is talking about Michael Phelps and the last day of the State Fair, and I’m still trying to figure out a good “Doogie Howser” wrap-up post for BlogIndiana 2008 (skip to 20:25):
Oh Doogie, how hard it must have been for you to increase your blog’s readership with the world wide web nary a year old and Mosaic still a glimmer in the eyes of its dev team at the NCSA.
It’s all too much right now, so I’ll just concentrate on getting our conference wiki, attendee blogroll, and session slides online over the next day or so.
There is no doubt: we will have a BlogINDIANA 2009. I am convinced we have a solid and growing core of bloggers, new media professionals, and business owners interested in cultivating our state’s online community by meeting IRL.

Second, use the comments on this post as an open discussion!
This morning, Blog Indiana co-founder Noah Coffey was privileged to appear on Fox 59 Morning News for two segments about blogging and about the upcoming Blog Indiana conference! The segments touched on beginner blogging, how to easily create a blog, and how to be a more effective blogger.
If you have been putting off registering for the conference, now would be a great time to register. We’ve already noticed a spike in traffic and registrations from this morning’s TV spots and want to make sure everyone gets a chance to attend the conference!
Our thanks to Fox 59 Morning News for having Noah on the program!
Here is one of the segments from this morning:

The Barack Obama campaign’s National Blog Editor, Laurin Manning, has agreed to participate in Blog Indiana’s panel, “How Social Media Impacts Elections”.
The panel, which includes bloggers and online editors from across Indiana, will discuss how blogging and advances in social media have altered the political landscape in fundamental ways, from how candidates raise funds to how campaigns spread their message.
Laurin Manning specializes in political communications and holds an undergraduate degree in English from Wofford College. She formerly served as an aide to now-retired Senator Ernest F. Hollings and clerked for Commissioner Michael Copps at the Federal Communications Commission. Prior to her current position, Laurin has worked for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama in South Carolina, Alabama, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
