- Blogging provides immediacy, informality, and an architecture for participation
- You do not need to blog
- Consider twitter.com - microblogging - 140 characters or less (see Karen's twitterprose)
- Create an event blog - and then close it at the end of the event
- Begin by blogging staff to staff and then blog staff to public
- Start with an internal blog to build trust
- The Poetry Scene - a blog by a Tampa Librarian (and SSLLI participant)
- Use found content, create link dump
- CD Baby in Portland makes you feel special just with their packing slips - cool ideas for librarians to include with reserve materials, or notices that your books are about to be overdue (rather then after they are late)
- Allow multiple people to blog

Thank goodness for Stephanie! Besides being great company for attending a baseball game, she wrote up all the notes and links for the SAMM conference. That saved me from doing it and makes it easy for me to share with staff. Michael, Richard and Karen were fantastic and very inspiring. With Richard and Karen located in Tallahasse, it would be wonderful to have NEFLIN arrange a program with the two of them.
