Blissdom ’09 was a success! The caliber of women who gathered in Nashville for the weekend was top notch. Because the conference was limited to about 300 women (including speakers and sponsors), the feel was very intimate. I was able to meet with so many movers and shakers I couldn’t help but come away with renewed motivation.
I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who took the time to seek me out and tell me that Blogging Basics 101 has helped you. Not to be too sentimental, but I want you to know how much it meant to me. I’ve been discouraged lately and unsure about whether I wanted to continue with BB101. You’ve probably noticed that my posts here have been lean over the past few months. I’ve really been trying to figure out what I want to do and where I want to take Blogging Basics 101. Your kind words have helped me find my focus again. My favorite thing is when I know that my help has allowed you to succeed on some level. It was a huge boost to know that you appreciate my efforts here at Blogging Basics 101.
Thank you to everyone who stopped me to say BB101 has helped you in some way. It really meant a lot to me.

Loved meeting you. Am trying to come down from my Blissdom high. The real world is much tougher than I remember it
You are on a roll! I am still sick and haven’t even looked through the cards I got. Thanks for the shout out:) It was great to meet you!
I’ll admit I’m exhausted today and didn’t even attend Friday’s events but a certain 6-year-old woke me up before 4 a.m.!
I hope to post my recap later this afternoon.
It was great meeting you! Thanks for the insight on ads…I truly appreciate it!
You know this is the problem when we don’t comment like we should. I’ve been doing a lot of interviews lately about starting and running a blog and I always refer to this site. It is the best for no nonsense straight forward easy to follow advice for bloggers. I love referring my readers to you. I also have you listed under my links for blogging help. Please keep it going, your service is invaluable!

Org Junkie,
Thanks for referring to BB101. I really appreciate it.
Thank you to everyone for your support!
It was great talking with you! I learned a lot just by sitting with you on the shuttle for 10 minutes. Okay, let me know when you start class and have your own conference:-) I’m there! Okies rule!
Amy,
I was just happy to finally sit and talk with you on the shuttle! I’ll have to get some skype classes going!
I really, really loved meeting you. It felt like we were old friends.
I loved meeting you!! (We bonded in the ladies room over our curls
) I really hope you keep BB101 going! It’s been ever so helpful to me…the very techie challenged. I need you!
Look at you! Listing everyone. You’re too awesome! I love that you’re the first person we met up with as soon as we got to Nashville!!

Meeting up with you asap b/f I met anyone else made all the difference in my Blissdom weekend. I was able to walk in there cool and confident b/c I’d already met up with friends.
Don’t give up please. I found a web designer from your site, and so far I think I’ve overwhelmed her, so I may need to do this myself.
aaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhh.
I’m so glad you found a web designer from my site! I know several designers and each one is terrific. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know BB101 is useful to you.
so great to meet you too! keep up the good work…keep being inspired..what you are doing is so great!!!

Oh, it was so great to meet you. I loved that you were there as soon as we got off the plane!
Meeting you, Beth, Stephanie, and Arianne immediately off the plane was one of the highlights for me! Made everything else easy-peasy.
Great eating lunch with you.
Moriah,
The pleasure was mine. I was glad to meet you!
