Should their stellar advise on social media and web development be combined big dollars will follow... Hopefully they might even share the secrets with us... Classic snake oil salesmen the pair of them. I think Paul O’Mahony should give old Baran a call at http://www.walk-outs.com/.

As both a novice and let's say an atypical (as in older than most if not all people in the room) convert to blogging, you need those who have done it/are still doing it successfully to boost your confidence.

It's all very well teaching people how to write blogs, and how to get their message out there, but I think it's actually the technical aspects that people need first to set up a proper blog, before getting into anything else. And I don't think I've ever seen anyone provide that kind of introduction to newbies. I think there’s a huge gap out there for introducing newbies to blogging.

As it is an accessible technology, free and gets people on the road of social media. It would be nice to see some government funded projects similar to this talk to aid small businesses.

Good to hear that you got something out of it and I really thought it was a very good event in general!

It's scary alright at the start but I think pretty much 100% of blogs started out being a load of shite (apart from people starting their 2nd or 3rd ones!) and just getting better and better as people figure out what they are doing and what their audience enjoys. I still learn something about blogging every single day and that is the beuaty of it!

People seemed genuinely relieved to hear bloggers recognize that it is not plain sailing especially at the beginning. If people are at an event like Wordcamp they are clearly curious and eager to learn and they should be encouraged and applauded for that.
