hand side of your main page is an inbox, and there's a link that says "Create a Post." Click that and then scroll down until you see "Create a BlogHer group." Remember, for people to comment in your group, they have to join the GROUP, not just be on BlogHer's site. Good luck!

help creating group

Why wait until July? You're invited to get your BlogHer '09 on in 17 cities this June

Whether you're going to BlogHer '09 in Chicago or not, you're invited to a blogger meet-up in one of 17 cities this June.

Thanks to some incredible blog-hostesses with the mostest -- with a little help from BlogHer.com's new party-starting Groups technology -- you can find out below where and when bloggers are getting together in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Boulder/Denver, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Los Angeles, NYC, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, Toronto and Vancouver.

Why the meet-ups? Every year we see women blogging about wanting to get together with other BlogHers who live nearby -- some of us wish we could attend BlogHer's annual conference but can't, or newbies with pre-conference jitters write about wondering what to wear, or oldies write about wondering who's going.

This year, we have the technology! You may not even have a ticket to BlogHer '09, but don't let that stop you from joining us. As you'll see from the list below, the bloggers hosting these meet-ups are amazing, talented women whom we think you'll really enjoy meeting. Huge props to Jenny Lauck of Three Kid Circus -- this was her great idea.
