In further preparation for my talk at Netspeed 2007 titled, “Widets, Gadgets, and Badges”, I have created another web badge. This one counts down the days until the Alberta Library Conference (ALC 2008). The ALC mini-badge will display the conference date (April 24) until it is 99 days away. When it is just 99 days away from the conference, it will begin to display a countdown. When it is just one day away, it will display the word “tomorrow” and when the conference is actually on, it will display “ON NOW”.

If you are attending ALC 2008 and have a blog, why not promote the event with this badge?

Netspeed 2007 is just 40 days away. Netspeed is a library technology conference hosted by The Alberta Library. This year it will be held at the Carriage House Inn in Calgary, Alberta. I will be giving a presentation titled, “Web Widgets, Gadgets, and Badges.”

For the occaision, I have created a special badge to countdown the days until the conference. You can add the following HTML to any webpage to display this badge. The image will update itself automatically. Today it displays that there are 40 days left. Tomorrow it will say, “39″ days left.

If you are attending Netspeed 2007 and have a blog, why not promote the event with this badge?
