Looks like some good stuff up for discussion at BloggerCon III.
Definitely plan to to check out the session on Making Money, probably also the Newbies session too (although PodCasting looks tempting).
re: making money, i'd like to discuss some concepts in addition to just the typical publisher-advertiser model, such as:
* Blog as Storefront / Online Business
* Blogs for Consultants / Service Providers
* Blogs for Fundraising / Donation / Community Goal
re: newbies, i think it would be helpful to understand more about how people get started blogging (or don't) and where they get bogged down... stuff like mapping a blog to a domain or website, setting up a blog template or designing a layout, basics of moblogging, etc.
as the medium scales / attempts to go mainstream, these things need to be much easier. TypePad is probably the best/simplest at UI i've seen so far (and Blogger has made some good improvements recently), but there's still lots of room for improvement on setup & basic education.
