Holy smokes! The bloggers were on fire this year, producing massive amounts of content to sift through and read. Below, I’ve attempted to work through each bloggers content compiling a list of each of their posts. I edited out posts that specifically dealt with things that were only relevant if you were at Orange Conference. Mostly what you will find below is a collection of notes from various workshops and main sessions, as well as some reflective posts on how these bloggers are implementing what they’re learning. If you really just want sound bite versions, maybe try out the Slices of Orange Conference post which is my collection of “best of” tweets.

This is amazing, thanks. As I would love to have been at the Orange conference but couldn’t, this is a great resource.
Thanks Kaye. I hoped it would be a blessing. I will be updating it throughout this next week as it usually takes about that long for the bloggers to process through everything and get their posts out. Check back often and thanks for letting me be a resource to you.
WOW! WOW! Thank you!!!!
You’re welcome. I can’t wait until it’s complete.
This is cool. But my grandpa would be sad if the wonderful, proud Italian name “Mannino” was spelled incorrectly. 🙂
I’m going to be creating more and more content in the next few weeks. I’m dedicating myself to it, so keep on adding!
This is a great work.
If there’s one group of people I don’t want to offend, it’s the Italians. And mimes, I’d definitely wouldn’t want to offend them either. It’s been fixed.
