Call it post-car-accident-unintended lashing-out coupled with caffeine withdrawal. ;) I'll try to drop by the site now and then and see how y'all are doing and where y'all are going. I'll be curious to see what grows out of this. OK Now I’m understanding a bit more. ;) I do appologize for my grouchiness.

This was just a side thing we decided would be fun to do, and it turned into something much bigger than we initially iamgined. I think we (meaning Lisa, Jory and I) are all committed now to making it an ongoing thing. We have the BlogHerRoll. We're encouraging and collecting "personal to-dos" from participants while we work on building a more bigger-picture to do list for the BlogHer community. We would like to find the right platform for an ongoing online community. For now, we're using the blog.

Mallory Mon, 01 Aug 2005 00:25:14 +0000 http://www.blogherald.com/2005/07/30/blogging-blogher/#comment-43563 My problem I suppose is that when I clicked on "start here" I got a schedule of the con rather than anything explaining what it was really about. I do see that isn't the case now, though I had tried going to the site several times before posting my original comment. Perhaps there was just too much traffic. So I apologize for my frustration. I guess then my question becomes, is this just about a one day event or is it going to be an ongoing online community? The website itself seems to be more about a one day event than anything else.

However we did keep as the very first link in the upper left side bar: Start Here: Announcing BlogHer: http://www.blogher.org/2005/04/announcing_blog.html Which states our goals and has a link to a more focused Mission Statement. Where else would you put it, other than the upper left corner to get attention? I've always thought that was where eyes (at least when reading languages that go from left to right) start on web pages. Where would you move that to make it more prominent? Thanks.

I followed the links in this post and even did a google. I can figure out this is a convention for women who blog but there doesn't seem to be any mission statement about the organization or what the conventiion is really about. Oh, there's schedules and lists of live bloggers, BUT as a "her" who blogs they completely lost me. I doubt I'll go back because there's no clear explanation to what they're about. With the number of bloggers involved, you'd think one of them would know how to set things up to be informative for visitors. OK I'm off to find some Diet Coke and maybe some breakfast.

I've also found that women respond more positively to Long Tail ideas than many men who are often attracted to the sheer power and glamour of MSM and "the scene".
