Last year, BlogHer hosted its first annual International Activist Blogger scholarship winners. The resulting panel at BlogHer '09 was one of the most inspirational of the event. We knew then that it was the beginning of another fine BlogHer tradition.

We here at BlogHer are still reeling with the sheer volume of activity surrounding BlogHer '10 this week! WOW!Here's a snapshot of what happened this week:BlogHer '10 sold out of full conference tickets.  Did we mention it was February when that happened?  (Wow!)  But we do have the following tickets available:

It's here -- BlogHer '10 and BlogHer Business '10 bling (twinkle twinkle). We've covered the basics -- now we’re opening it up to your ideas! Tell us what BlogHer '10 blog bling you'd like to see. We’re listening ... let the fun begin!  If you need some ideas, check out last year's blog bling - everyone was "so" creative and fun!

While we at BlogHer have always taken steps to green our events, last year was the first year we created a BlogHer Green Team. No, it’s not always easy being green, but it was easier with the help of the volunteer eco-conscious bloggers who helped the BlogHer events team navigate the process.

Today, we are very proud and pleased to announce a new programming partnership with The White House Project. Like BlogHer, The White House Project is a non-partisan organization, and their mission is to fill the leadership pipeline, at all levels, with "a richly diverse, critical mass of women."This partnership will take place at BlogHer '10, where we will co-produce a new, half-day workshop on Thursday August 5th, designed to help women bloggers with a politics and public policy bent become aspiring public servants.

What a weekend! You all came out to secure your BlogHer ticket at the early bird rate and wow: You nearly sold us out of the event in its entirety! And when we say "nearly", we mean 100 tickets remain for BlogHer ’10 in New York City this August! What’s next?

It has been said that all good things must come to an end, and this is so with early bird pricing for BlogHer '10.  Register on or before Sunday, February 28 and save $100 -- this includes meals, breakout sessions, parties and the expo floor; what it does not include is your hotel room.

Earlier this month, we were thrilled to announce our second annual BlogHer Food Conference, this October 8-9 in San Francisco, and to tell you that we were expanding the event from one to two days! [Side note: You can still register here, and tickets are going fast!] Today I'm announcing our Call for Ideas for programming for BlogHer Food '10.

I can't think of a better way to start an end-of-week post than with a celebration!

Happy President's Day weekend! I hope you have a long and enjoyable weekend, regardless of weather.

BlogHer Voice of the Week: Seeking Elevation

Last year I went to Africa for vacation, in the Zulu region of South Africa. When I returned I didn't really have much to say. I feared any word...
