This is my fourth BlogHer Conference. I look forward to the event because it helps inspire me. With Amy's expert help, I was able to come up with a strategy for this. Amy helped me think through how to consolidate the side bar. Amy Gahran gave a writing workshop at BlogHer that was very inspiring.

I can talk about my volunteer efforts to help poor children in the remote province. So, people who find my blog can learn about these efforts and maybe help. How come there are not so many BlogHers in Cambodia? Cross posted on BlogHer I like the fact that I can have conversations with my readers in the comments.

So, she graciously agreed to participate in our panel and do a quick interview for me so I could "pro blog it" for BlogHer. A lot of the non-profits I've spoken with feel that the web is too intimidating to try to tackle, and I'd like to change this perception and help them feel that web technology is accessible to everyone.

I first met Heather Gold when she did stand up comedy at the first Blogher conference in 2005. It was incredibly helpful to have another pair of eyes point out ways how you could improve to encourage more interaction. Happy, sad, angry, etc can help open the conversation. Thanks Heather for a terrific workshop!
