The Marketing Technology Blog: Nervous but Successful Afternoon at BlogIN

  • bnpositive · 1 year ago
    I thought your presentation was good today. The nerves didn't come across noticeably to me in the audience. The venue was great, the hiccup with easily accessing a free wi-fi connection seemed out of place. Understand security, but I'd think the "School of Informatics" would understand how to open AND protect their network to on-campus guests a little easier.

    Thanks bnpositive! That's good to hear!

    Re: Wi-fi, I should have done something to ensure that was setup ahead of time. When I was there for the Bill McKibben event, I noticed the tight security. I was able to make it through okay using my son's credentials since he's a full time student.

    We'll make sure we get a custom guest account at the next event! Looking forward to having you more involved as well - you've got a great blog and following here!

    I thought you did well in the presentation as well as the classroom sessions. I did not notice any nervousness. I agree with the comments about the wi-fi.

    No worries, I didn't notice any nervousness either. And the classroom sessions were great. Thanks for all the tips!

    Content over form every day.. and your content was solid..

    Quick question, when i change the permalinks, wordpress can't find any of my old blog posts? does it take wordpress awhile to find them? or do i need to just suck it up and change the htaccessfile.

    And now to be a complete novice.. where is my htaccess file?

    Thanks for all the support!

    1. Q1: That's probably got to do with your htaccess file as well, Lorraine.
    2. Looks like this could be easier than we think! Here's a post on converting to permalinks in WordPress along with a Plugin to help!
