You may have noticed sometimes when pasting a link into a Facebook post that Facebook will automatically grab an image, title and description from your link.

When I was speaking in Ohio at a blogging convention, I realized the price of admission to go to one of these things. To be honest, it’s kind of outrageous the prices they charge.

The kind of event that you could attend in your own living room or office. Naturally that event would have to be online, and that’s just the event I created!
