I should be on my flight to Vegas and headed to the BlogWorld event as I'm writing this...
Unfortunately, I came down with the flu. 🙁 And a nasty flu it is! There's no way I can fly in this condition, and of course... I'm contagious.
If you're not attending BlogWorld either, for whatever reason, I have two things that will definitely perk your interest!
First, you can still get a Virtual Ticket to the entire event, and listen in to ALL of the sessions from home - at your leisure. 😀
The Virtual Ticket includes online access to the conference session recording library, MP3 audio recordings, and MP4 audio and slide recordings.
This is a great way to attend the event on your own schedule, and still get access to all the top-notch sessions and content! But there's something else you'll love too...
The team at New Media Expo / BlogWorld recently launched NMX University, which is an online portal you can join for free.
Once you register, you'll get access to tons of free content - from ebooks to recorded sessions and videos from past events.
While you won't get all of the sessions from the current BlogWorld event like you do with the Virtual Event Ticket, there are some great how-to guides and topical sessions you really don't want to miss. Especially for free. 😉
When you sign up and first log in, today's free download is a Visual eBook titled "The New Media Rat Pack: 52 Tips on Content and Community From the Top New Media Experts" which is filled with tips from 52 of the speakers presenting on topics including: blogging, branding, content marketing, social media, podcasting, and video.
Definitely join NMX University for free, and enjoy all the great content there.
And if you want the current content, from the live event that is happening in Vegas now, grab yourself a Virtual Ticket and enjoy it from home! 😀
Best,
About Lynn Terry
Look forward to seeing you there. It will be nice to not have to scrape off my windshield
Enjoy the event, Dave! I won't be there as I'm down with the flu... and decided to be nice and not come spread it around. 😉 *cheers*
Hi Lynn,
Sorry to hear the flu bug got hold of you.
Maybe a nice hot toddy will make you feel better? 😀
When I drink it, I tend to leave out the spices, but that's just my preference.
Works wonders, even if it does not cure your cold or flu. 😉

Hope you are feeling better very soon.
Happy New Year to all here,
Karen D.
Hey Lynn,
Thank you for sharing... I will be checking out the BlogWorld info as well as CES over the next few days. I am a TWIT fan so it's good to see Leo as a featured presenter. I am also looking forward to Gary's new book "Ninja Innovation"
I hope you are having an AWESOME getting better with a hot toddy day! 😉
smiles 🙂
p.s. we had our first writers group meeting of 2013 today and my 2013 basic computer class training is scheduled to kick off on Monday night. Doesn't just saying 2013 make you feel like you are living in the future. I am old enough to have thought of 1984 as a pivotal year. LOL
Oops, I did it again. wrong Twitter name. This one should be better. 😉
Hi Lynn,
So sorry that you are unable to attend BlogWorld this year. Your excitement about it has been exuding from your recent posts about it, so I am sure that you are very disappointed.
Recommendation for Next Year: Flu Shot! lol
I do enjoy your posts and wanted to thank you for the information on the New Media Expo University. I have signed up and it looks pretty good.
So, rest, lots of fluids, (esp. chicken soup!) and I wish you a speedy recovery!
Take Care, Lynn,
Diane
I hope you get well soon. Thanks for taking the time out to write this informative article.
It must be a wonderful flight and unforgetable experience to be able to attend the BlogWorld event in Vegas. I hope you'll enjoy your trip and get big newz for us. Thank you for sharing this Lynn. It must be useful for us.
Even with flu, you're still well energized Lynn. Thanks for the info about NMXU and Virtual Ticket. Drink lot of water and get well fast. Nice post!
Don't forget to eat and take vitamin c, too. You will get better soon Lynn. We are here waiting for your good writing patiently.
Thank you for the well wishes! This is one nasty flu, really hanging on. 😛 I'm definitely disappointed about missing BlogWorld / New Media Expo - but will transfer my ticket to their next event and focus on getting well for now. 😉 *cheers*
Thanks for this Lynn! I don't know if I'll ever be able to get to an event live because of my daughter's needs, so I love that virtual events are starting to crop up.
Oh! Sad to know you caught Flu! Hope you recover from it soon. This sounds good, who doesn’t want to check out live event happening in Vegas, just by sitting at home. I will definitely check out the sites recommended by you.
Thanks a ton for sharing.
