I am convinced that there is nothing quite like working at home. As much as I love what I do – I write all day long, I get to interact with amazing people all over social media and my business trips feel more like extended girl’s nights out – I have a tendency to work…
Twitter vs Facebook – Which Rules Social Media?
I read a compelling article this past week about the drastic changes that social media has seen in the past 10 years. I was shocked to realize that there was no Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube on September 11, 2001. How different would the experience of 9/11 have been had the people in the middle of…
Blog Traffic – How Important is It?
Blog traffic numbers (and the sharing of them) seems to be akin to a woman’s weight. Unless the numbers are really good or there has been a recent drastic change in numbers, nobody wants to share. The number of visitors a post receives and the number of comments left is often viewed as being directly…
Finding My Voice
I was terribly quiet as a child. I determined early in my teen years (when I was able to analyze myself a little) that my odd combination of self confidence and shyness did not give most people a good impression of me. I’ve always been quiet, but not in a timid, self-conscious way. I just…
Sisterhood of the Bloggess’ Traveling Red Dress
I wrote this post the day after BlogHer ended, and it has been sitting in my drafts since. I didn’t make it to BlogHer this year and was pretty sad about missing it until I attended a local HomeHer party for all of those who couldn’t make the conference. I go to many local blogging…
Why Should I Attend a Blogging Conference?
I was chatting with a local friend of mine after returning from speaking at Blog Paws (the social media and blogging conference for pet bloggers) last week. Since she knows that I don’t have a pet right now (shh!), she was curious why I would have been chosen to speak at the conference. This particular…

10 Tips for Taking the Perfect Profile Picture – #bloghopcon
The perfect profile picture is tough to come by – it’s natural to want to put our best features out there, but not all pictures were created to be profile shots. #BlogHopCon This weekend I am joining with a couple dozen amazing bloggers to present the BlogHop Conference – a free conference that anyone can…
I Wish I Was Heading to BlogHer
….kind of. I had a blast last year with my two fantastic roomies, Amy and Safire. I met a ton of great bloggers, connected with dozens of brands, brought home a suitcase full of awesome swag, and enjoyed more parties in one weekend than I usually do in a year. Plus, I participated in my…
Type A Conference Recap
Despite what some people may think, I am not social by nature. I am the typical introvert who gets worn out by being around crowds of people. And yet, I have this crazy, conflicted, overwhelming desire to BE SOCIAL. Since I started blogging in 2007, I have been meeting and developing relationships with more people…
