The Northern Voice conference is coming back next February 10 and 11 here in Vancouver. I'm hoping to participate again, and have already submitted a speaker proposal:

Why you should care about the details: how words, design, code, and community make your blog better and bring you more readers

No matter how big or small your blog is, or how big or small you want it to be, spending a bit of time on the details of how it looks, how it works, and how it plays with others will make it better. People will enjoy your blog more, it will be easier to find, it will bring you bigger benefits (however you measure them), and your mom (if you let her read it) will thank you. I'll talk about specific examples, and I hope the entire group can help come up with others.

Last year's Northern Voice was a ton of fun, and this year it's two days, so it should be, er, a tonner of funner.

P.S. Even if you had a website login ID for last year's conference, you need to create a new one this year, which is unfortunate.
