I didn’t go to BlogHer 07…

But lots of other women did! Including our own CEO Nataly and The Working Closet’s Susan Wagner (and I can’t wait to hear about their trips!) If you felt like you missed out by not being there, here are some terrific places to read about other women’s experiences there, so you can peek in the window with me, face pressed against the glass.

First, Susan Mernit has several posts– so many that I just decided to link generally to her blog, and you can start reading down. Fortunately, her posts are also short and well-linked, and have pictures! Great stuff and loads of information here in brilliant, colorful bursts!

Mom 2 Amara went and discusses here why television journalists don’t blog and other topics raised at BlogHer this year.
Women in Media and News were there and asked Elizabeth Edwards about media policy reform. Click on the link to find out what Ms. Edwards said.

Cynthia DamourTru notes that there were 800 attendees this year, and recounts the two year history of BlogHer. Two years, people. Wow.

True Confessions answers the question from the Book Session of whether or not you need an agent, and so much more about getting a book deal from your blog.

And finally, my favorite: Plain Jane Mom used twitter to cover the conference sessions she attended live. It was much more immediate than live blogging. I loved it. I felt like I was there. Thank you again, Erika. Her blog coverage of the event is here.

Did you go to BlogHer? Did you work it? Don’t forget to enter our contest! (We already have an entry about an interesting autograph request asked of Amy Sedaris…) If you didn’t go to BlogHer, how did you keep up with it from where you were?

  • I’m sorry you didn’t get to go, but i’m glad you got to follow along at the sessions I went to! I’ve got several more posts in the hopper about BlogHer — it was an inspirational event for me.

  • I didn’t go to blogher and I have come to the conclusion that since summer is so busy for me, I probably never will. If they had one in February, March or April it would be much more realistic for me to attend.

  • Thanks for the recap. I wrote some stuff on my blog about how to optimize your blog for search, etc. If anyone is interested. It definitely was an interesting experience…

  • Thanks for the mention. I was thrilled to be at BlogHer and can’t wait to attend more in the future.
