I had totally talked myself out of going to Chicago for BlogHer.
Going to a national blogging conference seemed like a big commitment for a blog that (at the time) hadn’t officially launched yet. I had planned on reconsidering next year.
But, last week Tuesday, my friend Mona tweeted that she had an extra discounted conference ticket, and it got me taking another look at the conference website. The agenda was a great fit with the goals and dreams I had for my now 8-posts-old blog. Maybe it’d be better to figure this stuff out now, at the beginning, and start off on the right foot.
I decided to say yes.
Mona took care of the ticket transfer. I booked my flight and hotel, and then started figuring out what to pack and whether I’d have time to see anything in Chicago besides the conference center.
So the next couple weeks there will be some Chicago stuff and some conference stuff mixed in with what I already had planned. I had also been thinking of experimenting with the format – going with shorter/more frequent posts instead of weekly mega posts. I think this is a great time to try that out.
Let’s see how this all goes!
