it seems Paypal does not like it’s buttons being pressed from within a wordpress post, so anyone trying to donate will get an error page.

The best way for anyone to help is to go directly to the site (www.bloggingman.org) and buy a ticket or a sponsorship, there are many to choose from…

Or even just donate to Jay, and he can indirectly help us out.

Reno is only a 3 to 4 hour drive for me. I’ll try to make it so we can finally meet and have a beer Jay! That is of course if I can get past all your groupies.

Here is what you do…use this method of speaking called the 3T Method:

Tell Them What You’re Going To Tell Them (Preview)

Tell Them (Body)

Tell Them What You Just Told Them (Conclusion)

It’s the Military way of giving a presentation and its fabulous!

Also: Open your speech with a question after you have thanked everyone for the opportunity.

End your speech with a memorable statement – perhaps restate your opening question with the way you have supported it.

Do not rely on powerpoint for your speech!
Do not restate any points on a powerpoint slide (people can read)
Do make eye contact with people even if the room is big
Do not use the podium as a crutch – get your hands off of it!

I’d be glad to help you with this seminal public speaking opportunity!
