Which Internet People Have Changed Your Life?

Online life can be the best. Let’s talk about it.

Oh, and bring example links.

The rules are simple — be nice.

The Mic Is On: Glenda Watson Hyatt Is Talking About Accessibility

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

How POUR Is Your Blog?

Blogs need to be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust.

  • Have you ever tried working without your mouse?
  • Are your tags written for readers who can’t see the pictures they mark?
  • Does content work across all operating systems and mobile devices?
  • How can you put your community at the center of your blog?

Join us tonight and bring links and your questions to add to the discussion.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

Need Some Ideas?

Content defines who we are. What we write about is our expertise and our relevance. We become our words and our statements online. And as online presence becomes a stronger part of business, business becomes more about publishing ideas.

  • What new product and blog post ideas can we come up with?
  • Where do the best ideas come from?
  • How do you grow ideas from what you have?
  • When is it time to let an old idea become a new one?

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring example links.
