The BlogHer conference day begins early with a croissant and fruit breakfast in a large ballroom. Imagine a cacophonous hen house on a poultry farm, and then imagine that those hens have coffee and laptops.
That is a BlogHer breakfast.
Then the bloggers divide into Break-Out sessions, each handling a different aspect of the blog realm. Privacy issues, tax issues, networking issues— these are all examples of topics captured in the Break-Out sessions.
Bossy is right this minute attending a session about maximizing your blog’s earning potential. Of course Bossy isn’t listening, she’s writing. Which could be mistake Number One.

July 18, 2008 at 3:24 pmI’m so jealous, I wish I was at Blogher ignoring good advice about how to earn more money with my blog.
Actually, I think I just figured out how to earn WAY more money: stop blogging, get out of the house, and start looking for dropped pennies on the sidewalk. In my case: much more lucrative.
The Domestic Goddess says
July 18, 2008 at 3:27 pmWait, you can make money off of your blawg? NO FREAKING WAY!!!!
jk.
MarathonMom says
July 18, 2008 at 3:32 pmBossy is so busy maximizing and capturing that she failed to notice the MAN that has breached BlogHer. Imagine how he feels? Wonder what his blog is? He is problby gettin all the chicks this weekend.
andrea says
July 18, 2008 at 3:35 pmMmmmmmmmmm…money…. But at least you are entertaining your readers which is cool.
Jodi aka soNOTcool says
July 18, 2008 at 3:36 pmI look forward to hearing about the BlogHer conference via your perspective. Enjoy!
Heather says
July 18, 2008 at 3:54 pmI am wonering why everyone is writing, don’t they have laptops and wonders such as text edit. I lose scraps of paper, my Macbook Pro is my baby, I would never lose my 3rd child….LOL! (Speaking of Macbooks…did you ever sell yours or has it claimed a piece of your heart)
CarolynOnline says
July 18, 2008 at 4:01 pmHi corner of Bossy’s hair!
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
July 18, 2008 at 4:07 pmIf Bossy hears anything about how to earn money reading and commenting on other people’s blogs, I hope she sends me some tips.
All Adither says
July 18, 2008 at 4:07 pmBut you’re already, like, a millionaire off your blog. What does Bossy need with maximizing earning potential?
Whit says
July 18, 2008 at 4:09 pmThat looks too much like school. I’m starting to feel better about not going.
Katy says
July 18, 2008 at 4:20 pmWhat’s up with the dude?

Auds says
July 18, 2008 at 4:26 pmWow…you guys let a man get in there?
And I’m thinking Whit’s onto something…looks too much like school to me. And here I was, expecting pictures of everyone knocking back a few and dancing on tables, breaking ankles in those heels!
The Mom says
July 18, 2008 at 4:26 pmWhat you didn’t cut that class? Aren’t you alread a gazillionaire? I would so be by the pool with a cocktail.
Foolery says
July 18, 2008 at 4:53 pmHmmmm, clear plastic water bottles. So tough to disguise bloody mary’s that way. If I learned one thing in college it’s that Big Gulp cups work WAY better.
Inzaburbs says
July 18, 2008 at 5:15 pmApologies to those pictured, but I don’t see any sexy young thangs. Where are the sexy young thangs? Do you think *he* is there for the sexy young thangs?
(Oh wait, apparently you don’t get to be hawt by going to class…)
mrsb says
July 18, 2008 at 5:23 pmScrew BlogHer. We want pics of your hair!!
;O)
HeyJoe says
July 18, 2008 at 5:23 pmWhat’s that dude doing in the middle of things? I thought the men were relegated to schlepping drinks and various sexually related chores? At least that’s what I was told when I looked into attending.
By the way, was that martini dry enough? Please beat me if it was not.
MP says
July 18, 2008 at 5:24 pmTAXES…they gonna charge me tax to blog..oh shit
brittany says
July 18, 2008 at 5:28 pmNew to your blog and completely jealous, I plan to live vicariously through you form this point on during blogher 08:)
vuboq says
July 18, 2008 at 5:47 pmvuboq is fixated on the hair. does bossy now look like Marilyn Monroe? Cuz that’s HOT!
BlogHer looks like fun 🙂
Sass E-mum says
July 18, 2008 at 5:51 pmMmmm. I’m thinking that I want to see more fun. Or else the coffee morning break out session that I posted about in my alternative Blogher post is going to look WAAAAY more exciting.
blue girl says
July 18, 2008 at 6:16 pmWish I could be sittin’ next to ya, making wisecracks.
I agree with vuboq. The hair is very Marilyn Monroe. Looks pretty sexy to me.
You sexy blogher, you.
Mr Farty says
July 18, 2008 at 7:03 pmI see what BOSSY’s done there. She wants us to check out all the other bloggers at BlogHer to see if we can find a decent photo of BOSSY. And in the process we find all these cool blogs. I ? BOSSY!
catnip says
July 18, 2008 at 7:13 pmWait, is that an empty chair next to you? Was no one brave enough to sit next to Bossy, or did they just not recognize the white hair?
Undomestic Diva says
July 18, 2008 at 7:14 pmNo one noticed the clicking of your camera? You’re good…
Maria R says
July 18, 2008 at 7:17 pmBlogHer looks like fun disguised as work. Or work disguised as fun. I’m not pro-disguises. I feel strongly that blogging shouldn’t be about making money……
……but any tips you have gleaned would be really really helpful……I mean…for others……
….Not me…cause I wouldn’t do it for the money…..
…..much.
Dara says
July 18, 2008 at 7:22 pmyeah…what’s with all the dudes?
BH says
July 18, 2008 at 7:37 pmBOSSY!
This is your husband (and kids!)
Pay ATTENTION!
Love,
Us
Peg says
July 18, 2008 at 7:46 pmYears ago, I learned that those events are a waste of time and money but they sure are fun. Have a blast, Bossy!
Madness says
July 18, 2008 at 8:33 pmMadness wonders if Bossys nifty name tag says “Hi, Im Georgia” or if it just says “BOSSY” … Im betting on “BOSSY” … Meanwhile .. Madness is starting to feel like a dog in HEAT with all this TEASING ME WITH THE HAIR BUSINESS!
wrekehavoc says
July 18, 2008 at 8:48 pmhmm. that guy in the picture reminds me when i took a womens studies class in college. there was one guy in the class, and he was minoring in womens studies. when i asked another women, who was majoring in it, what his deal was, she said he was actually concentrating on getting laid regularly.
bossy, stay away from that man! 😉
Clayjack says
July 18, 2008 at 9:51 pmI see there’s a man in there. Are cocks allowed in the hen house?*
*inhales through clenched teeth as he wonders if he’s stepped over the line with his double entendre.
Beth says
July 18, 2008 at 10:11 pmDudes, that could very possibly be a butch dyke.
manager mom says
July 18, 2008 at 10:24 pmI am slightly disappointed to say that this looks like EVERY HORRIFYING corporate convention I’ve ever been to. Tell me there are drinks. And gossip. And tomfoolery.
heart shaped hedges says
July 18, 2008 at 10:50 pmBlogging at a blogging convention, imagine that!
Jason says
July 19, 2008 at 12:54 amPrivacy issues, tax issues, networking issues? That does not sound like the Blogwhore convention I was imagining! Oh, wait.
AnnP says
July 19, 2008 at 12:55 amYour commentors (commenters?…hell, I don’t know) are hilarious! This is too much fun!
JCK says
July 19, 2008 at 1:03 amBut, then if you sneak out of the blogger sesions you get FREE boxes of chocolate SWAG. Perfect for late night posting in hotel room when feet are hurting from earlier club frolicking.
Chantel says
July 19, 2008 at 2:27 amI looked for you; I couldn’t find you. I thought we could finally be together after all…. of this time. But since you CAN’T SEE THE RED HEADED TRANNY IN THE SHINY HEELS. I guess it wasn’t meant to be after all.
Enjoy SF sweets; I’ll see you next time around.
meleah rebeccah says
July 19, 2008 at 3:24 amthe girl sitting across from you is totally holding back from laughing.
Mjohnson says
July 19, 2008 at 7:04 amThe only way to make money blogging is to run blogging seminars and you knows it.
Would defo come to a Bossy seminar!
Kelley says
July 19, 2008 at 8:01 amThere is a DUDE in there! Or just a chick really tuned into her masculine side.
Dudes at BlogHer will totally be fawned all over and possibly molested, or so I have heard from Busy Dad.
mimi says
July 19, 2008 at 10:40 ammy blog has earning potential? whaaaa?
Clair says
July 19, 2008 at 10:57 amI tried to talk to the dudes at BlogHer, and most of them ran screaming in the opposite direction. Why is it that girl geeks aren’t afraid of guys, but the guy geeks are scared stupid by girls?
tj says
July 19, 2008 at 11:57 am…It looks to me like Bossy is a distraction to the girl in the pink shirt. She looks like she is trying to hold back a laugh…whaddya doin’ to distract the class Bossy? Is she thinkin’, “OMG! I can’t believe I’m sittin’ next to Bossy!” or “OMG! I can’t wait to blog about the white hair on this gal!” Seriously?
…Have fun! And just how do you make money doin’ this? Can you share or is that classified info’ that is only available to BlogHer Conference attendees? Please advise. ;o)
…Blessings…
Jozet at Halushki says
July 19, 2008 at 12:25 pmDo people actually attend the lectures and stuff?
Anyway, I have a very special message for the BlogHers and for bloggers everywhere via Black Hockey Jesus. I hope to see photos of everyone singing Kumbaya and stuff. 😉
operagal says
July 19, 2008 at 7:45 pmyeah, that *does* look like every conference I have been too… do they at least have a cocktail hour post session?
Tori says
July 20, 2008 at 2:07 pmHey beautiful Bossiness…
Of course you are at BlogHer! You amaze me oh Lady of the Road Trip!
Make sure you impart all of your knowledge to the lazy ass bloggers like me!!!!!!
Kisses
Tori (Laguna Beach/Kristin/black clogs….)
Nap Warden says
July 20, 2008 at 11:45 pmShouldn’t Bossy be leading the seminar on maximizing earning potential???
SpEdLaw2 says
July 21, 2008 at 12:32 amHi,

Could you return the favor at:

Nanette says
July 21, 2008 at 1:58 amOk, I just realized that I was sitting behind you during that session. And I was watching the woman’s reaction next to you as you snapped photos. Hilarious.
(Found your site via “Am I Doing Okay?”)
supertiff says
July 21, 2008 at 3:04 ammethinks that your little blog will be just fine, whether you pay attention or now.
xo.
Raz says
July 21, 2008 at 4:16 amI am imagining you sitting in the back row, being all naughty.
Only instead of smoking or swearing or drawing rude graffiti (can you tell I’ve never been a back-row girl?), you’re blogging.
Is that technically naughty at a blogging conference?
the mama bird diaries says
July 21, 2008 at 1:24 pmI had trouble with that tax issues session. I wanted to pay attention, I wanted to learn and then suddenly somehow I was checking my email instead.
magpie says
July 21, 2008 at 5:19 pmoh hi Bossy – meeting you was one of the highlights of my weekend – that and the dooce/bloggess dust-up.
CC says
July 21, 2008 at 7:58 pmI can’t make money on mine even when I swear any money I get (which has thus far been ‘nil) is going to charity!!
maybe I need white hair too?
