Calendar Girl Blog: BlogHer
As you may have noticed on my sidebar, I'm going to San Jose California to attend the 2nd Annual BlogHer conference of women bloggers. This event is playing host to the most influential women bloggers in North America.... with some attendees coming in from around the world.
I'm slowly but surely recognizing the vast potential in this trip.
Over the last 18 months I've gone from pecking away at Calendar Girl Blog to running 4 blogs on an almost daily basis. This blog was intended to provide you with a daily dose of the thrills and chills of publishing the Breast of Canada calendar with the hope that more people would get it. But an interesting thing happened along the way. Not only do I better understand what the hell motivates me to do this project, but also I got hooked on blogging.
Back to BlogHer. I've been pondering the kick ass schedule of lectures and discussions and allowing my mind to connect what I know to be my strengths with what I understand to be the potential inherent in blogging. As an artist, arts promoter, social entrepreneur and one afflicted with a deadly case of 'save the world' syndrome it has been dawning on me that BlogHer could be an excellent venue to promote my creative, bloggy pool of e-associates.
This morning I contacted Gareth, calendar designer superman and very gifted political cartoonist (check out this weeks strip), Barking Dog Studios, the ultimate web/blog hosts and hostesses and Tannis, my musical angel who is recording her second album. Then I thought about BlogGuelph and the growing blogroll of Guelphites that effort is attracting.
Indeed it would be safe to say I'm biased. Yet I'm pretty certain that these people are brilliant. Is it not a win, win, win idea to introduce such genius to others that may be equally impressed?
One of the sessions Calendar Girl hopes to attend is title: Is the Next Martha Stewart a Blogger? Calendar Girl does not possess the same style as Ms. Stewart. In fact, ‘cheap, cheerful and orange’ captures the Calendar Girl look.
But Martha is also a trendsetter. Calendar Girl wonders how that title would fit.
