Not a dumb question at all Reford! why to attend multiple cities

Elisa Camahort — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:32:00 -0500

Actually, that's a great question!

Each city's agenda is actually different in the following ways:

-Each city will have its own general sessions/keynotes featuring its own local blogging greats

-There are three tracks in each city, one of which is completely custom built for that city based on that city's particular blogging scene. For example DC's agenda is pretty politics and activism oriented, while Nashville's agenda focuses more on blogging communities in and around the area...like the women covering Nashville's cultural scene.

-Finally, even the Blogging Basics track for new/beginning bloggers, while having the same sessions in each city, will feature different and local instructors in each city.

Meanwhile going to two cities would of course mean that you could focus on developing your skillz in one city, and attend the regional blogging interest track in the other city.

Hope this helps? let me know if you have any more questions.

New to BlogHer and have a question

reford — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 13:55:40 -0500

Is there a benefit to attending more than one Reach Out? I could attend Nashville or New Orleans...or both. Is the content significantly different?

Sorry if this is a dumb question! Appreciate your help.

Wish there was a city on that list that is...

Hey, anyone that has read my post knows I can't do 300 words. One rare occasions maybe 450.

Prescriptive definitions of Blogging - Take 3 keywords and guarantee x number of visitors in the morning can be helpful but don't let it suck the life out of just writing.

Write/draw/photo or whatever. Mix with a little heart. Your blog will take form. Be organic and not mechanical in your blog and it will show its own identity.

It is cool no matter how you flow.

Joanne: It's a search, not a group, so a tag may be missing

Is your report tagged "BlogHer", becuase the link is to the search results for "BlogHer" not some assigned group.

If you are able to add a tag, go add BlogHer, and it will then show up in the search results I linked to.

For some reason, it wasn't included in the BlogHer group. :( Wonder if there are any others who did reports but didn't get included?

Great to meet you, too!

Megan, Denise, it was great to meeting both of you. I read BlogHer daily, so it was great meeting everyone in person and seeing beyond the little avatar graphic most of us have online. (Is it just me, or do you always expect everyone to have on the same clothing?)

Per usual, I have headphones on listening to music at this very second! ;)
