I'm speaking at BlogWorld, 2008

I'll be speaking again at this year's BlogWorld & New Media Expo.

I'm sharing a panel called How to Plan, Build & Promote a Business Blog for Small Businesses with Rich Brooks, Denise Wakeman and Des Walsh. BlogWorld takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center September 20-21 (Executive and Entrepreneur option on the 19th)

There are some great speakers this year and you can check out the full conference schedule here.

If you haven't already registered for the event, you can get 20% off registration fees through September 15 by using coupon code: JTURSD1C.

I'll be there for the whole conference so if you want to meet up in person, I'd be happy to see you. I'll probably be hanging out at the Six Apart booth on the trade show floor most of the time. You can also try calling me on my mobile at 231.584.2710 but I'm having massive Iphone issue at the moment so… you're best bet is probably to look me up at the Six Apart booth.

See ya there!

Looking forward to joining you on the panel, John. Isn't it marvellous? With the help of a few emails, a conference call courtesy of Denise's bridge, some Google docs, we have joined in the process of putting a panel session together without ever having had what the old net folks used to call a flesh meet. Realistically, it has probably only cost each of us in actual outgoings a few dollars, if that, for a long distance phone call. And we could have used Skype and it would have been free. I feel good living in the future. :)

Hi John - I've got a request for technical advice. It doesn't feel right to post it here but the forum seems to have a glitch that won't let me see it and you do say you prefer questions in public comments than private mails. So sorry if this isn't the place.

I use the instructions given in the Typepad knowledge base to put streaming mp3s on my pages. But I find that they only show the play button in IE; in Firefox I get the message that a plugin is necessary. It then invites me to install Quicktime. I get this in Firefox on two different pcs. Neither has Quicktime. (I don't want QT.) One has Quicktime Alternative. I get the same message on both. In the one with QTA, I've chekced the mime types and mp3 is excluded. I've gone through this with Typepad support but they've given up and referred me to Adobe. They say they see the streaming button fine on my pages.

The code is

Do you know where it's going wrong?
