Going to BlogWorld!
Sort of came as a last minute surprise - like a big affiliate sale that came in last night. I’m going to Vegas this week for BlogWorld! All the big industry names will be there. I’ll get to meet Wendy (thanks for the comment -sorry I missed you in Utah but Vegas will be even better).
I wish my “I’m blogging this” t-shirt wasn’t so shabby looking. I really need a Newspapergrl t-shirt. Anyway, I’m looking at how I’m getting there (anyone from Utah driving down?) and where I’m going to stay. Suggestions welcome. I’ll blog about it probably both here and on Marketing Pilgrim. Our own Andy Beal is going to speak at one of the sessions and I hope to meet a lot of others bloggers I admire. Maybe even the Wordpress Matt.
Flashback a few years ago: my boss hated that I blogged at work, and I couldn’t help it. I would’ve had to buy a Blackberry and blogged in the gardens behind the building I worked in. I haven’t stopped blogging and now it’s my main source of income. I train bloggers and blog for other businesses. My blog on Google is #1 for The Latest at series on Podango and I’m still having a great time at it.
I seriously love what I do. If we’re friends I’ll try to get you to blog. Blogging helps you be a better writer. It’s a history of your thoughts. A blog connects you with smart like-minded people and friends, they can grow your business online, and keep you up on technology.
My next thing is to start affiliate blogs. It’s one thing to make other people money, but it’s rewarding to do it for yourself. I anticipate blog heaven Wednesday through Friday. Hope to see you there - I hear it’s pretty warm.

I’d recommend getting a hotel along the tram line. That way you don’t have to mess with cabs or parking. Best deal last minute is imperial palace and the tram station is connected to the hotel

If money is no object why not get your ‘Newspapergrl’ t-shirt at cafepress? If you need artwork, let me know.

Andy, Looking forward to meeting you too.
Thanks for the recommendation southwest. Gord, Cafe Press will take too long - I had to find a local store to do a rush job (today, since I leave tonight). But I’ll keep your option in mind.
