Well, the title says it all, really, but it has taken me five months to write this. Correction: to get this published.
This was the strongest message that I heard at Reboot 11 back in June. It came from Euan Semple when he opened the second day with his Big Picture talk. As I told Euan [...]

I took a challenge and signed up to blog during the Climate Conference in Copenhagen from the 7th to 18th of December. When I signed up and said I was a local, they asked if I’d mind helping out at the center. I said yes.
Practical details aren’t finalized yet, but the Fresh Air Center pages [...]

Fresh baked rolls from Lisa and birthday pastries from Abelone set the usual cozy tone for the Danish WordPress meetup held in the lovely Advice Digital office, thanks to the wonderful René.
We had an agenda, but the main agenda is really “meet and ask your questions”. We had a round of introductions where attendees stated [...]

This is not a foodie-blog type post, by the way. I’d call it a socio-political post (even though that sounds a bit pompous.) Anyway… I have a cute cookbook from 1915 called “Dyrtids Kogebog” that came from a flea market excursion.

These notes must get done as soon as possible because they are part [...]

It’s time to stay indoors on a glorious day and geek out over WordPress. Yay! WordPress DK has the announcement and program, but you have to go to Upcoming to register.
Don’t be shy if you are a non-Danish-speaking WordPress fan in the neighborhood that day. The announcement might be in Danish, but everyone can speak [...]

Yesterday, I expanded on some of the reasons why the world needs technical communicators that were proposed by Ben Minson.
My latest challenge from Problogger is about promoting yesterday’s blog post. One of his suggested ways to promote yesterday’s post – do a follow-up post – made me think of something that has bugged me for [...]

Because I do dive into crazy tasks when I already have way too much to do, it is only natural that I dive into ProBlogger’s challenge to build a better blog in 31 days.
The challenge of the first day is to write an elevator pitch.
Ugh. This is not a business blog. However, as “we all [...]
