One of the amazing things that happened at BlogHer 2008 was the beginning of mainstream media outreach to certain bloggers to create content for their existing web sites or new blog portals. This is not a bad thing. I repeat, it is extraordinary good thing that type of opportunity is taking place. However, there are parts of my mind that are howling like an old yappy dog. Something is amiss. I can’t see it as yet. I have the scent but I don’t have anything tangible. It nagged me on Day 2 and all the way home.

Not many people stayed for the Open Space part of BlogHer08, compared with the total number in attendance on Friday and Saturday. Those who stayed, got a lot out of it.

So many fun things you can do with your photos, so little time. If you're like me—going to BlogHer08 armed with camera—you'll have a ton of photos to deal with soon. Even if you don't plan to attend BlogHer08, you can still have fun with your photos. Here are some ideas to spark your creativity. I've talked about some of them in depth before, so I'm just going to try to summarize the choices in this post. If I miss a favorite of yours, please add it. It may turn out to be someone's else's best choice, too.

(About this interwebs tubes thingie: Part Two) Twitter has been having a lot of problems lately. In the past few weeks months, the Twitter servers have been buckling.

You know my stories. Technology yadda, yadda. Booorrrring. But I have another side that doesn't care about software or blog services or CSS properties. Yep. That side of me is all about words and writing. I create an almost daily writing prompt to stimulate creativity in writers on my First 50 Words blog. So it's high time I checked out some of the blogs by, for, and about writing and writers.
