I’m Here at Blogher DC
I made it. A little overwhelmed. We just did a freaky speed-dating-like exercise during the welcome. The first session is about to start. I’m online and even sitting next to on outlet. Key factor. Am wondering when my coffee/sugar will wear off since I’ve been up since 5:00.
I have to admit I kind of enjoyed my drive here. The first hour, not so much. But around 7:00am, when the sun started to come up, and I switched from Regina Spektor to No Doubt, I started feelin’ it. This is the farthest physical space I have ever had between me and the kids; it’s very strange.
Session One - Blogging Basics: I Blog Therefore I am . . . Finding your Blogging Mojo
I think the part I’m most interested in this session will be how the panelists’ blogs have changed over time. It seems that there is quite a spread of experience in this room, from women who have yet to start their blog, up to those like me, who have been “blogging for over 1 year.” So I’m interested in how to keep things fun and stay motivated, and how priorities and styles change in the cycles of blogging.
*I’ll edit this post throughout the session. Or maybe I’ll try to actually listen:)
*I think I”ll have to go in depth later. I’m taking copious notes and will do so this week. But I’m trying to process everything first, you know.
We’re on to Session Two now: 6 steps to Personalize, Polish & Promote your Blog, but lunch was a sort of a brief session as well.
Glad you got there safely. How many people are attending? Have a fun day.
I am diggin’ your “blogging from the event” trend you’ve got goin’, Beth!
Will have to keep checking in!
I’m going to live vicariously through you. Can’t wait to hear more. I want to know how many people are there too?
Glad you are enjoying it. Here’s the live blogging from home: Walked to park. Came back. Preschooler is watching Thomas and about to eat pizza for lunch; Baby is napping; Daddy is napping. (Just kidding about that last part.)
Go Beth’s hubby. Wanna come here and take care of my two year old?
It was good meeting you!! Today was the longest I have been away from my ten month old. It all ended well. Hope you got home okay
I just wanted to say that I am so impressed by you going there solo. I would never have the guts! I look forward to more updates.
I can’t wait to hear what you thought about DC and if your experiences were similar as ours in Boston.
This sounds like such fun - and inspiring, too! Keep us posted on what you learn…
