Thanks so much, John for publicizing the conference here. And thank you, Kent, for publicizing it on your website.

Beautiful invitation. I love the fonts, love the layout. I particularly enjoyed reading the footnotes. (Or would you call those sidenotes?)

Eric, you made my day by noticing that! When I was looking for photos for that page I asked myself, “Since I’m including “popular” conferences, who is the most popular academic right now that even my mom would recognize?”

In the Contact Me page I used the picture of BH Roberts in disguise and left out the caption (hoping everyone would think it was a photo of me), but no one I got to look at the page had ever seen the photo before so it would have ended up being an inside joke with myself and maybe Ardis. Anyway, I added a caption.

Since I maintain both smpt.org and BlakeOstler.com I thought I could kill two birds with one stone by promoting both with that photo of Blake.

Now you know everything about the photos I used besides the home page. You can guess why I used the photo I used there.

Hey Kent, I like how you’ve got Ostler to represent “Academic Conferences” and then Bushman to represent “Popular Conferences.” Like he’s a John Bytheway for old folks.

That call for papers is freakin’ made of win, as the kids today might say. I *will* figure out how that’s done, and I *will* steal that for a future party invitation!

The submission deadline is Dec. 1, 2008.

There will be a webpage eventually at RestorationStudies.org — but I have a bazillion things to do before I get that done.

We’ll add the link to MormonConferences.org at the JWHA website and I will both publicize it and shamelessly crib from it in the next JWHA newsletter.
