Suzanne, I'm happy to give you anything I can. There are two conferences I especially like to attend. One is the Quality Matters Conference held in October (I think) each year at various locations throughout the U.S. (https://www.qualitymatters.org/5th-annual-conference-2013-0) and one is the Sloan C Conference held also in October(I think) in Orlando each year (http://sloanconsortium.org/conference/2013/aln/welcome). At each conference you will be able to attend sessions that are applicable to online teaching, learning and designing. It's a great way to network and learn from others. I do not personally have a blog, but I do have examples of things I have done with online students (http://www.hrsm.sc.edu/facstaff/tcrews/onlineexamples.html) and I hope they are helpful.
