This weekend I am attending SOBCon08.  It is an annual conference, held in Chicago, for Successful and Outstanding Bloggers.  (Shame on you for what you were thinking SOB stood for!) 

I’ve mentioned to many of you, on- and offline, that I am getting ready to make some major changes to this website.  I’ve deliberately put off many of my ideas until after this conference in order to avoid unnecessary work.  (I am so excited though:  New colors, enhanced design features, a subscription service that works, and much more are on the way!)

If you’d like to see who else will be attending the conference, Todd Jordan has posted a list on his site.

Michelle Vandepas will be interviewing me (among others) via live remote.  Please check out her site and call in with a question or two. 

Liz Strauss started the whole thing and I can hardly wait to meet her.

Christine Kane is performing, so you know it’s a smart group if they’ve chosen her as their preferred entertainment!  It will be good to see Christine again.  She’s been such a good friend and supporter over the past couple of years.  (By the way – I just read a fantastic post of Christine’s:  Creating vs. Getting – check it out, you’ll be glad you did!)

I’m looking forward to creating new relationships and learning more about the business of blogging.  I originally signed up for the conference with a desire to improve my skills, enhance my knowledge, and offer you a better website.  Recently, I was approached by a small business owner to start a blog for his business.  I’ve also been trying to get my husband to blog about dentistry for over a year now.  (The blog page is set up, we just don’t take the time to write.)  I’m hoping to learn efficient ways to set up and maintain blog sites for small businesses, so that they can have an open channel for communication with their clients. 

That’s not too much to ask, is it?

So, what are you doing this weekend?
