Women bloggers and the BlogHer Conference

By Charlene Li

I'm at the pre-event meeting for BlogHer and my head is already buzzing -- I'm looking forward to the dinner tonight and a great day networking with other women bloggers as well as learning a lot from my fellow bloggers. My first impression -- this is going to a be a really, really fun event, as it involves a lot of both personal as well as professional bloggers. Many of the people here are blogging because they love what they do -- not because they want to make a lot of money (OK, they're here too!) So I'm looking forward to meeting and bonding with the (mostly) women who will be here.

When this conference was first proposed a few months ago, I issued a challenge for readers of this blog to name at least five women bloggers -- and many rose to the task! I've added the BlogHer Blogroll (on the left -- scroll down a bit) so that you can explore for yourself all of the fantastic, diverse voices that are out there. I'll post my impressions of some of the most interesting blogs that I come across during the conference -- and would love to hear if you've discovered some interesting sites as well.

So if you're going to be at BlogHer, let's try to meet up! And if you're not, I hope you'll take some time and look at some of these great blogs.

Hi Charlene,

I'm looking forward to your panel (along with the entire BlogHer conference) and hope we can chat a few minutes tomorrow.

Best and now that I've read your review of Konfabulator I'm planning to download it this weekend.

Charlene -

You and Halley helped set the tone for BlogHer - challenge the status quo but do it with style and add a dash of "blogger" generosity.

Thanks also for leading the "Birds of A Feather" discussion on biz blogging. Great conversation and lots of good ideas.

Charlene, you and Halley were fabulous opening session speakers. And I cannot tell you how much I loved it when you joined us "mommybloggers" in our session. Thank you for helping to make BlogHer such a valuable experience for all of us attendees.
