I just got back from BlogHer , the largest gathering of female bloggers in America. It's the 5th year of the conference and has grown from a scrappy, homegrown, volunteer effort to a nationally renowned, corporate-sponsored conference. You can get up-to-speed with BlogHer '09 through their official liveblogs.

" For me, live blogging notes from conferences and other gatherings helps me think through my fingers about what is being said in the room (and helps me retain it and share it with others (usually via my blog.) I often see many people taking notes at conference, either with pen in a moleskin or typing into a laptop.

I'm gearing up to do some live blogging at blogher and NCDD. Over the past year, I've done a lot of live blogging which is basically taking notes at lectures, conferences, and presentations of what was said. At last year's blogher, someone said that live bloggers need to carry around a hip flask in their tool box! publically.

Some blogs that I read, and don't usually get to write about here, are food blogs, and photoblogs, which are often the same thing since food bloggers use lots of photos in their posts. They post photos of cupcakes from cupcake bakeries all over the world, and from readers who submit photos of their own creations.
