A great post today by Stuart Henshall on reasons to support conference blogging (and not just 'cause it's got my photo in it). I started doing this recently (yesterday the latest) and found it not only increased my attention to what was being said, but also forced me to reflect and not jump to rapidly to conclusions. From a speakers point of view I think it can only be good news.
One thing Stuart does not address is what else speakers could do to make the conference bloggers life easier. All suggestions on this appreciated.

Just live blogged a conference yesterday and posted some of my (lowly) experiences on my blog. Just search for 'blogging' on my blog. A blog post on why I promote conference blogging can be found here:
So, I completely agree with you!
Take a look at the booklet 'Tips for conference bloggers' here Really insightful!
My tip for speakers would be not to put to much info on the sheet. Tell the story instead of reading to us what's on the slides. Bloggers can catch those stories easily.
What I find difficult is how to capture diagrams and figures when you're live blogging. Any tips?
