A big holler-y grateful shout-out to **Amanda Gassett**, Research Scientist at University of Washington, for presenting clearly and constructively on dodging immortal time bias in studies of air pollution's health effects. #EnviroBrain #CONFAB @busph.bsky.social

Last weekend I got to thank the person who encouraged me to go to #Confab back in 2017 and unwittingly set the course for my career journey since. Then I had to define content design and UX writing for someone else there, and unfortunately I lacked a bulletin board and string.

My copy of Sustainable Content by past Confab speaker Alisa Bonsignore arrived today, and I’m pretty pumped to read it over the upcoming weekend! Who else plans on buying Alisa’s new book? #content #confab #sustainability

Rocking some rainbow #Confab socks today, just because.
I’ve spent the last half hour trying to find the #Confab. It’s amazing to connect, collaborate, and shape a platform to our benefit!
I'm working on a starter pack of #Confab regulars. If you attended Confab, Button, or are otherwise a friend of content design or content strategy, and you're not on this list (and want to be), reply to this skeet! /cc @halvorson.bsky.social go.bsky.app/Lk9emam
Hello #confab friends! I've just made my blog this weekend, so forgive the emptiness of the blog. 💕 I am currently most active on Tumblr but am going to give Bluesky a try.

Remember, I'm from KS. The appropriate response to a tornado warning is to go outside and see if you can see it. #confab
Trying to decide what to do for dinner? Several of us #confab folks are headed to Ichiban at 7:00. Meet in the lobby.
My sincerest apologies to anyone I didn't get to meet, or anyone I didn't get a chance to say goodbye too. Find me online fienen.com #confab
Join us, 7:00, meet in lobby for Ichiban dinner. #confab
Part of me feels like the future of content strategy is less in existing processes and more in revolutionizing web processes. #confab
The problem is that taxonomies and semantics are functional methods of our industry. Base users don't get it. Requires more skill. #confab
.@Halvorson looks downright fierce on stage. #confab
Anyone else interested? 6:00PM, in the lobby, walk over to Ichiban for dinner? #confab
.@MelyssaTweeting I'm thinking Ichiban around 6 if people are down for it. #confab
.@emilykggray I'm thinking Ichiban if folks are down for it around 6. #confab
What dinner groups are coming together? #confab
Users don't like choosing which audience they are part of. Big implications in #highered. Users are task oriented, that isn't part. #confab
For examples of 5 second page tests, look at the site reviews by @nickdenardis at educheckup.com #confab
I have to disagree with the idea of users using search being a bad thing. That's only true situationally. #confab
FAQs are evil. Nothing more than a dumping ground for content that hasn't been properly curated. #confab
Some of the design patterns used on the Broadmore site are explained in Bill Scott and Theresa Neil's book Designing Web Interfaces. #confab
Soooo... what are the dinner plans folks? Anyone down for Ichiban? #confab
While the information at #confab has been top notch, nothing beats how awesome the people have been and the great networking taking place.
