There are 77 days until the Science Blogging Conference. The wiki is looking good, the Program is shaping up nicely, and there is more and more blog and media coverage already. There are already 113 registered participants and if you do not register soon, it may be too late once you decide to do so (we'll cap at about 230). Between now and the conference, I am highlighting some of the people who will be there, for you to meet in person if you register in time.
Antony Williams is the Director of ChemZoo Inc, which runs ChemSpider which is an Open Access online database of chemical structures that enable chemists around the world to data-mine chemistry databases. And he runs the science blog ChemSpider Blog
Robert Peterson is an Assistant Professor (neurodevelopment) at UNC and a front-page blogger at BlueNC in Chapel Hill.
Rob Zelt is a software developer and blogger in Carrboro, NC.
Lenore Ramm is a computer scientist and IT analyst and a blogger in Hillsboro, NC.
In order to meet them, you know what you have to do: register! Registration is free. Check the map for nearby hotels. And sign up for the Friday dinner.
If you are coming, exchange information about where you are staying, if you are offering a ride, need a ride, or want to carpool on the Ride Board - just edit the wiki page and add the query or information.
Some of our Friday lab tours are now in place, so you can start signing up to join one of them.
Get updates and get in touch with other participants via our Facebook Event group (I see that some who originally responded "Maybe attending" are now registered).
Please use 'scienceblogging.com' as your tag when writing blog posts about it or uploading pictures. You can also download and print out the flyers (PDF1 and PDF2) and post them on bulletin boards at your office, lab or school.

Just for completeness I actually run two blogs:
www.chemspider.com/blog
www.chemspider.com/news
Also, prompted by my attendance at this conference I made a post regarding Joys and Frustrations after 6 months of blogging here:http://www.chemspider.com/blog/?p=221
THis is the human side of blogging from my point of view...some things to consider.
