Ben Huh: guess some lol cats thought my blog post was a cheezburgr & ate it
I really did put up a live blog post about Ben Huh’s hilarious presentation on how to do, among other things, MPH (Mr. Potato Head) at WordCampLA 2009. But now it is nowhere to be found! Very strange. There is no way that I can imagine accidentally deleting it.
While I was liveblogging, I also tweeted some of his words. So, instead of that post, unless it turns up, I offer up an apology and these tweets (complete with typos), and including one directing traffic to the missing blog post! Hmmn, should I be suspicious??:

Hmmmn, a mystery. Any ideas? I’d love to hear them. I know that twitter can’t find me and my hashtags don’t show up any more (not since mid-WordCamp SF 2009), but there’s a whole slew of people with that problem.
Here’s a live blog post from Ben Huh’s presentation at WordCampSF 2008: https://artpredator.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/wordcamp-sf-2008-good-will-virality-aka-viral-virility/
And here’s a slide share link for a previous presentation he did on building community:
UPDATE: I contacted WordPress, showed them that it had been published by sending them the link to it on google (which, when clicked was a 404 error), and Anthony at WordPress put it back up. A bunch of it is missing somehow but oh well….
