A Dark and Gorey Night

Notes on FitBloggin’
I’ve been to a lot of conferences. Some were organized on shoe string budgets, like a WordCamp for Education held in the back room of a community college, and some were expensive, fancy gatherings, like An Event Apart. When a conference succeeds, it energizes, educates and unites its participants. FitBloggin’ was every bit as as…
