Explore Chicago on Foot: Walking Tour One
This is the first in a four-week series to help BlogHer '09 attendees explore Chicago.
My favorite way to explore a city is on foot. I think it has something to do with the experience of using all five of my senses in a way that driving (or boat-riding) tours just can’t match. (Not to mention that walking is good for Earth, good for you and good for your wallet. Well, potentially good for you and your wallet. I suppose that depends on your discipline when in such close proximity to Garrett Popcorn Shops.) So if you’ve planned a little extra time before or after BlogHer ’09, and were hoping to see a little bit of the city (believe me: there’s plenty to see), then I’ve got a juicy tidbit for you: Chicago walking tours.
BlogHer ’09 Speakers in the News: Katie Orenstein
If there’s one thing that Katie Orenstein is passionate about, it’s helping women’s voices penetrate the largely male-dominated (by 85%) Op-Eds (for those not familiar with journalism lingo, that’s an opinion piece historically published in newspapers opposite the editorial page, but which has now translated to online forums, as well). Katie is founder of The OpEd Project, a day-long seminar created to help women find their voices and engage in these public debates. She is bringing a portion of her seminar to BlogHer ’09, leading two sessions in our Leadership track: “Owning Your Expertise” and “Writing Your Op-Ed.”

A Week in Review - June 26, 2009
Wow, what a week!
We have been gearing up for the event and now it's go go go all the time! This train has left the station. Here are some highlights -
Announcing: BlogHer '09 LobbyCon
BlogHer '09, BlogHer's fifth annual conference, will be our biggest conference yet. Every year we have sold out and dealt with the dreaded waiting list. This year we sold out BlogHer '09's original capacity in mid-March, which left us with lots of community members wanting in.
BlogHer '09 Speakers in the News: They're Here to Help You Be More Green
Being green isn’t just about recycling your plastic bags or separating paper from glass. It’s about thinking smarter environmentally, and it can affect the foods you eat, the products you buy, your mode of transportation, the companies you support. On that note, all of our BlogHer ’09 Green and Eco-Blogging panelists have been in the news lately, and we couldn’t wait to tell you all about them!
BlogHer ’09 Speakers in the News: Jaden Hair and Michelle Lentz
BlogHer ’09 speakers are a group of savvy women, and many are experts in more than just one domain. Take two of our speakers, for example, Jaden Hair and Michelle Lentz. Jaden, a foodblogger, has carved a career out of managing her blog’s relationship with different brands, which is why we’re thrilled she’s speaking on the Brands and Bloggers panel at BlogHer ’09. And Michelle, a social media consultant and instructional designer, has made a name for herself as a wine blogger in online food circles – one of the reasons BlogHer asked her to speak on our FoodBlogging panel. Recently different news outlets have highlighted both Jaden and Michelle – read on to find out more!
Announcing the BlogHer '09 Community Keynote Selections
Today, we are thrilled to announce the final selections for the BlogHer '09 Community Keynote, our second annual Community Keynote, taking place on Friday July 24th.
Just like last year, we received hundreds of submissions, and I have to start with a shout-out of gratitude to our tremendous Community Keynote grand poobah:
Eden Kennedy from Fussy
And the rest of the Community Keynote committee:
Jes Ferris and Lori Luna from BlogHer
