Web Design for Dummies

This might be good to do for Photoshop & Dreamweaver too. Maybe as a Q & A session where a few fairly knowledgeable people could field whatever burning questions beginners might have.

Get down with your inner geek

Virginia DeBolt — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 17:20:11 -0600

One of the beauties of blogging is you don't have to be at all geeky to do it, but in case there are a few who would like to get down with their inner geek, here are some ideas:
CSS basics
CSS layouts
How to be accessible
Adding code to your blog template for ads, searches, Flickr, tag clouds or whatever
Search engine tips
HTML basics
Working with images

I'd also be interested in topics about writing for the web or writing well and about education.

Thanks for moving it a bit closer to home.

Session on writing

Rita Arens — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 08:43:49 -0600

Someone once said to me that popular blogging does not equal good writing. I approach my blog the way I do any professional writing, and I'm wondering if people view their blogging the way they do other fiction/poetry/journalism work that they do. We could talk about styles, influences, themes, use (incorrectly or correctly, and whether that matters) of punctuation, grammar, capitalization, etc. Words are our medium, but we've never really talked about that.

I'm new to BlogHer, but not blogs...I found out about the '06 conference ONE week after it happened thirty minutes from my house. Big DARN!

So, I am SOOOOOO going this year! From the West, on to the East...since I am from the east...it'll be like coming HOME!

Sweet Home Chicago!

Beautiful Baby — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 03:04:23 -0600

I think I peed myself a little after reading it would be in Chicago. I was just telling a fellow blogger how much I wanted to go to BlogHer but it was too far. Now it's where I LIVE!!! OMG I'm thrilled and so much for getting any sleep now.

I'll be keeping watch for updates and opportunities to help out.

Excited to Come in 2007!

I really am looking forward to this, since I missed last year!

Sweet Home Chicago

This is exciting as I may actually get a chance to go home! It will be 2 1/2 years at conference time since I've been back home for a visit..just depends on the money (if any) and the two kids and convincing the hubby as well..

CHICAGO? YESSSSSSSSS!!!

MamacitaG — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 20:41:46 -0500

I'm so excited, my earlobes itch.

I have no budget for air travel to either coast, but Chicago, pretty much smack in the middle? That, I can do.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making it more "centralized."

It's going to be better than Christmas Day for me.

Wow! So Close....

Diana — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 01:38:05 -0500

Chicago is so close to me! Now, I'm excited!

Note to self: attempt to become a serious blogger so people may at least know your blog exists.

Hey, I've got 200 and some odd days... it could still happen.

New York - YES!!

worksmarts — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 06:06:57 -0500

Welcome to my small world BlogHer! Hope this is the first of many successful east coast events.

New to blogging-would love to know more about BlogHer '07

crazybabymama — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 00:29:17 -0500

I have read about BlogHer '06 and it seemed like THE MOST FUN EVER!!! I would love to attend as Chicago is one of my most favorite places in the world. I am new to the blogging world and would love to meet other "mommy bloggers" as well as other bloggers and learn how to really get my blog off the ground!!

Breaking News: BlogHer Moves East in 2007

Elisa Camahort — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 21:41:48 -0500

Some of you may have heard the rumors. Some of you may have even found the official press release we put out on the wire when the BlogHer '06 Conference kicked off on Friday.

But I hope there are still a few BlogHers out there for whom this is actually news:

BlogHer is moving East in 2007, and we have (thus far) two events to announce:

The first BlogHer Business will take place in New York City on March 22nd and 23rd, focusing on blogging for businesses.

And the third annual BlogHer Conference, BlogHer '07, will take place in Chicago, IL on July 27th and 28th, featuring the same broad diversity of topics and activities that BlogHer '05 and BlogHer '06 did.

Mark your calendars!

And keep your eyes open for an attendee survey. We want to know what you thought of the session topics, the session lengths, the session format, the sponsors, the cocktail parties...you name it.

It's our own version of a Continuous Improvement Program, and you're the ones who provide the data, so watch your Inbox.
