How to Blog a Talk

November 15th, 2007 by adam

Blogging about your own presentations is tough. Some people post their slides, but slides are not essays, and often make little sense without the speaker.


I really like what Chris Hoff did in his blog post, “Security and Disruptive Innovation Part I: The Setup.”

I did something similar after “Security Breaches Are Good for You: My Shmoocon talk.” I posted a PDF of the slides. I think the PDF is less effective, because you can’t skim it, search it, or excerpt it as easily as with Hoff’s HTML version.

Nice work, Chris!

    Thanks Adam.
    I was struggling with how to make sure that things would make sense. As I improve my slideware and they become talking points, sometimes they are difficult to “get” without a narrative.
    I think this worked out OK.
    Thanks a bunch.
