1. First, sign up as a member of the site, if you are not already a member.

2. Click on this link to get to a page where you create a new story (the form calls it a topic, but it's the same thing). Enter a title for the story and an initial draft. Click on the Post button at the bottom of the page.

3. Since you are the creator of the story, you can edit it, revise it, change it. When you view the page you see an Edit This Page button (other people won't see it). As you might imagine, if you click on the button you will be able to edit the content of the page.

4. When you're ready, send me a URL of the story so I can link to it. Or send it to anyone else who needs it. The BloggerCon site, more than most others, must be community-written and maintained.

I went for coffee with Jim Moore at the Starbucks in Watertown, to talk about BloggerCon and other things.

I asked what's most confusing to him about weblogs, and he said the infrastructure, things like Blogdex, Daypop, Technorati, search engines, etc. We talked some more, and I realized we should have a Day 2 session on this, so I just spec'd it out.

The goal is to demystify the concepts that tie weblogs together into communities, and make it easier to edit the blogs, search them, find things that point to other things, etc.

There's also room for visionaries in this session. Where should we be going?

Comments are welcome.
