A Few Final Details
Welcome to Denver (or Hell, if you are a Denver resident). We hope you're enjoying your stay. We also hope you remembered sunscreen and water bottles. If not, we'll send you a card in the ER.
Before our big night on Thursday, we wanted to make you aware of a few things.
One: Registration in CLOSED. As in, NO MORE REGISTRATIONS! You are more than welcome to bring everyone and their mother with you on Thursday, but we are just about maxed on free drinks, so we're closing the official list. Thanks to everyone who RSVP'd, and thanks also for spreading the word. We're very excited by the number of bloggers turning out for the bash.
Two: Denver finally figured out what they're doing on Thursday with the Light Rail. If you're planning on taking the Light Rail into downtown, please be aware that you CANNOT take the C or E lines into Union Station. You'll need to take the D, F, or H lines, hop off at 16th, and walk to Trios from there. It won't be more than a few blocks. The posts 3 down still shows the map of the Light Rail for you. (Thanks to GeekMommy for the heads up!)
Three: One of our sponsors, You2Gov, is running a contest for the best 30 second homemade TV political ad in the country for either Obama or McCain, with a $1,000 reward in every category! Feel free to enter or spread the word!
Additionally, You2Gov has set up a place on their site for anyone who would like to blog about the DNC. Their site is growing rapidly in popularity, and we are really grateful to them for giving all of us an opportunity to participate in the political discussion in a place with great exposure! If you're interested, here's how to register:
1. Register on You2Gov using your usual blogging moniker
2. Email me, alan@you2gov.net and identify yourself and your usual blog
3. You2Gov will assign special authoring rights to you so you can post into what is now the Founders Blog (name to be changed to You2Gov Founders Convention Blog). This is a full blogging applet with its own RSS feed, that cross posts into our Latest News Section on the site as well into our forum.
Once you are a newly authorized Author into this site, follow these steps to make blog entries.
1. Log-in to the site at www.you2gov.com.
2. Click on "Write a blog entry" under the User Menu.
3. Type in the entry title, and blog entry. Use the WYSIWYG editor provided. If image is required, click on the "Insert/Edit Image" button next to the print button. A pop-up window will open up. You can upload a picture from a local desktop, by clicking on the Upload button (DO NOT DELETE any of the pictures already in the directory). If you know HTML, you can click on [show/hide] button and add an image from another server by typing in HTML code.
4. Do not click on "insert image" button at the bottom of the entry box. Leave all of the setting as is and click on "Save blog entry" button.
5. To view only your entries to edit, click on "Show your blog" button under the User Menu.
David and I really look forward to meeting you all on Thursday! See you then!
