<p>I feel like a school girl at a <del>backstreet boys,</del> <del>Spice Girls,</del> <del>Boyzone,</del> <del>Take that,</del> <del>fuck it showing my age</del> Justin Bieber concert. But&#8230;. here is our next big announcement&#8230;. *Drum Roll Please*<span id="more-3823"></span></p>
<p>Ha&#8230; just kidding, first, we must do some thank you&#8217;s, and yes, I could have done them at the end, but where&#8217;s the fun in that? This way, I am still making you read on&#8230;and on&#8230;. and the tension is building. Unless of course, you got fed up with my blatant time wasting and skipped to the end.</p>
<p><strong>Anyway, my heartfelt thanks go to <a href="http://geofflepard.com" target="_blank">Geoffle</a> and <a href="http://rachelsquirrel.com" target="_blank">Rachel</a> for helping to organise this for us, without them this wouldn&#8217;t be happening.</strong></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>I am totally super excited to announce&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</strong></p>
<p>That we have a guest speaker who is going to deliver a seriously awesome masterclass on using social media to promote your blog.</p>
