BlogHer’10: Bullet Points and Shout-Outs

I’ll warn you again, in case you’ve forgotten – my BlogHer’10 experiences will, once again, be the subject of several posts. I’ve already talked about a couple of sessions in detail. This time, I’m sharing some of my more general impressions in the ever-popular “bullet points” format. But sadly, I don’t have pictures this year, because I couldn’t bring my “good” camera with me – it’s not so good right now, and I just sent […]

BlogHer’10: You and me and the FTC

I’ll warn you now – my BlogHer’10 experiences will, once again, be the subject of several posts. There are a couple of sessions I’d like to talk about in detail in addition to sharing my more general impressions. The first session I attended at BlogHer’10 was on that topic so dear to the heart of any review blogger: “The FTC Guidelines: After a Year, Has Anything Changed?” (And yes, although you may not review anything […]

BlogHer’10: What’s the “publishing ecosystem” evolving into?

I’ll warn you now – my BlogHer’10 experiences will, once again, be the subject of several posts. There are a couple of sessions I’d like to talk about in detail in addition to sharing my more general impressions. It’s hard to process everything that goes on in a conference session when you’re one of its presenters, and the time goes by a lot faster. Fortunately, my BlogHer’10 panel, “The Evolving Publishing Ecosystem,” was liveblogged, so […]

Welcome to The 3 R’s Blog!

Whether you’re visiting The 3 R’s Blog for the first time because we met at BlogHer’10 or you’re a regular, I’d like to welcome you and thank you for coming by! Please visit my About Me and My Blog page to get some idea of what you’re in for around here. I’ve been here since March 2007, and I blog primarily, but not exclusively, about books.  You can find all book-inspired posts under the “reading” […]

BlogHer is coming. Look busy.

BlogHer is coming. Look busy.

It’s that time again, folks…the time when hundreds of blogging women (and a few good blogging men) start talking about the big annual conference they’ll soon be attending, and hundreds of other bloggers either commiserate, turn green with envy, eagerly follow every detail, or get sick of the whole thing and tune it all out. This will be my second year attending the BlogHer Conference, and it’s nice to have some idea what to expect […]

A news flash: Speaking for Book Bloggers at BlogHer’10!

A news flash: Speaking for Book Bloggers at BlogHer’10!

Do you remember my mentioning a couple of months ago that I had submitted a proposal for a Book Bloggers “Room of Your Own” at the BlogHer’10 Conference, and asking for your votes to help get it on the agenda? Book Bloggers: Reading and Writing All About It Track: Passions Some of us started blogging just to talk about the books we read. Others of us like to talk about the books we read, but […]

BlogHer’09: I think this about wraps it up…

BlogHer’09: I think this about wraps it up…

(I’m sure y’all HOPE so, anyway! Next week should be a return to as close to “normal” as it ever gets around here. Thanks for putting up with my public processing of the BlogHer experience!) BlogHer’s organizers have asked for feedback on the conference. Rather than subject you to the ridiculously long comment I left there, I’ll just give you the link, and you can read the whole discussion over there if you like (it’s […]

Book Blog(H)ers, we need to talk…

Book Blog(H)ers, we need to talk…

…because we didn’t get to do that at the BlogHer’09 Conference! I mentioned in my BlogHer Bullet Points that book blogging doesn’t even begin to show up on the BlogHer conference radar, and I think this is a big mistake. I pitched a “Room of Your Own” session for book bloggers – it didn’t get the votes. We couldn’t even get a dedicated table at one of the “Birds of a Feather” lunches. BlogHer is […]

Ten Items (More or Less): BlogHer Bullet Points

Ten Items (More or Less): BlogHer Bullet Points

If I were to link to all the BlogHer’09 recap posts out there – and you know I’d do that; I’ve done it before, when I haven’t even been there myself – I would never get any of my own impressions about it written up to share. There are a few things I’ll mention here that I’ll expand on in subsequent posts, but I thought I’d start the ball rolling with some BlogHer Bullet Points. […]
