    So, look, I'm going to put up some BlogHer photos here that include me in them, but only as a public service. I realize a lot of you may not be on Twitter or Google+ and so didn't see these when I tweeted them, and though my normal reaction to that would be a fervent, "Thank God!" because I look hideous in them, I also know that there are others like me out there. By which I mean: The Photogenically Challenged. That's right: my name is Viv, and I take bad pictures.  Read more >

    I just wanted to let everyone know that if you couldn't make the BlogHer '07 conference, you need to plan ahead for '08! I've had a fantastic time interacting with all the other women (and men, too!) here at BlogHer '07. BlogHer has done a fantastic job of not only arranging quality presentations and bringing in the very best exhibitors (who, I have to say, are incredibly generous with all the swag they are passing out--it's like trick-or-treating!), but also creating opportunities for all of us to get together and socialize.  Read more >
