I am head­ing to Den­ver today to attend the Den­ver Christ­mas Con­fer­ence. This is a gath­er­ing over about 1000 stu­dents from Kansas, Mis­souri, Nebraska, Col­orado, New Mex­ico, Wyoming and other places.

I am going to be inter­view­ing stu­dents at the con­fer­ence to help me guide me in future improve­ments to GodSquad.com. I am tak­ing the first steps toward cre­at­ing user per­sonas.
I first read about per­sonas in Kelly Goto’s Web Redesign 2.0 and have heard lots of good things about them from Jared Spool. I believe cre­at­ing per­sonas will help me to bet­ter design and develop sites that equip stu­dents to reach their campus.

Steve Moudler’s book, The User is Always Right has been help­ful in prepar­ing me to ask the right ques­tions to get the infor­ma­tion that I want and need. It is the first really prac­ti­cal resource that I have found that guides you through the process of cre­at­ing use­able personas.

I am look­ing for­ward renew­ing rela­tion­ships with Cam­pus Cru­sade for Christ staff that we served with in this region of the coun­try when we were field staff at Kansas State.
