Blissdom '10

I’ve started and come back to this post several times now.  I know I won’t be able to give this ‘recap’ justice because trying to recap this conference is hard – it was just that kind of event.  The kind where someone asks you ‘how was it’?  And you start with great, ramble off some things that doesn’t really make any sense, and end with great.

I think I would sum it up in a couple of ways:

Knowledge – Some came from the workshops, some came from keynote speakers, and some came just from talking to other bloggers – ones that I’ve read before and others that I hadn’t.  I think the central theme was find your passion & write about it.  Love your blog & love what you blog about.  Sure there’s things like content, SEO, traffic, CPM’s, blah, blah, blah … but if you don’t love it first then does the rest of it really matter?

Relationships – This weekend, some of my “blog friends” became in-real-life friends.  I have actual, real-life images in my head.  Not some silly avatar picture!!  I must admit, I’m pretty skeptic about relationships online.  It’s pretty easy to fake the “OMG’s” and “LOL’s” & toss around things like “BBB’s”, but there was seriously such a wonderful sense of community.  I got to see & meet & speak with big-time bloggers that were just wonderful every-day ladies.  Sorry to blow anyone’s cover!!

Rockstars - Because that’s what I felt like this weekend.  Not because I am one or was one by any means.  But the ladies behind Blissdom definitely know how to throw a conference!  We dined like Queens for every meals.  Seriously – I’ve never used so many pieces of silverware in the same weekend!  We slept like Queens – the Opryland Hotel is just absolutely beautiful!!  It pulled in Sarah Palin, Sandi Patti & Harry Connick Jr the same weekend that 500+ beautiful bloggers where there!  And we were treated like Queens – the Sponsors of Blissdom pulled out all the stops!!

My only regret … I’m an idiot when it comes to taking pictures.  I took two.  I took two pictures the entire weekend.  The entire weekend I took two pictures. One was incredibly blurry & one had Staci & Amanda in it.  No offense ladies, but I see you every other day!!

So, my only question … when is Blissdom ‘11 & can’t we have a get together before 2011???
