Musings
Going Solo doesn’t have any branding yet. This is a standard WordPress.com design, which is preventing this site from being all naked until the branding is ready (normally, I’m told, this should be the case in roughly two weeks).
Now, in the meantime, I would like to be able to provide the nice people helping promote Going Solo with a pretty banner or badge to use on their blogs as fast as possible. So, here’s the dilemma: do I get something “quick and dirty” done (there is also some printed material I want to order… yesterday — LIFT will be here soon, you see), and have the “visual identity” of Going Solo change at some point, or wait?
What do you think?
PS: any standard dimensions out there for sidebar banners/badges?

You could always put something up and “replace” the file… thus updating the banner where ever someone has already posted it online.

You basically want something people can display - and for the love of god stay away from a stupid “register” in the button.
Traditionally “i am going to” / “plain” / “i am speaking at”, but you could start with a very simple one, just the name in two lines, and the date and location.
Something 180x? to fit usual blog templates should be enough.
