BlogHer? I Hardly Knew Her.

July 28, 2007 · 0 comments

Sorry. Bad pun. It’s late, I’m tired, I’m heading back to Philly shortly.

But I did want to link to my session… it was live blogged here. Enjoy!

And if you have questions, definitely ask me.

BlogHer: Art and Commerce

My BlogHer session is later today. For those of you who couldn’t make it, or for those of you who want a recap, here are some details worth noting:

  • Anne-Marie Nichols will be live blogging the session, so take a peek at her site for all of the juicy bits
  • Nina Smith, of Queercents, will be moderating (I met her at the speaker reception, she’s fabulous)
  • Denise Howell, of Bag and Baggage, will be talking about copyright protection and intellectual property (perhaps I’ll ask her about the rogue “taxgirl” who is floating around posting on the STD message boards)
  • Liz Gumbinner, creator of Mom-101, will be chatting about marketing, advertising and blogging.

    I’m psyched about the session. I have a great panel. I fully expect it to rock.

    Oh, if it’s that’s not enough excitement, I have hand-outs. Mostly because I’m a geek, but also because I have an odd attraction to office supplies and things like hand-outs. Yes, while many of my colleagues were tying one on last night, I was cabbing to the Kinkos.

    If you miss the hand-outs, I have them available here as a pdf (7 things that every blogger should know about tax) and here as a pdf (deductions).

    If you miss the session, or if you come and have more questions, or if you just want to say hello, feel free to email me.

    • I’m at BlogHer!

    I have finally arrived in Chicago for the BlogHer conference – despite a sequence of events that included thunderstorms, Air Force One and a rude man in a gray suit on Randolph Avenue conspiring to thwart my plans.

    I’m on the panel for Art and Commerce:

    The other side of the professional blogging coin is looking at the business ramification of making money with your blogging. This session will cover the things to consider and that you may regret if you wait to long to address: copyright protection, tax ramifications, managing personal vs. paid-for blogging, your site policies, and blogging ethics. Nina Smith moderates, Denise Howell is our in-house legal expert and Liz Gumbinner’s background in marketing, advertising and blogging gives her insights into how to set and disclose consistent blogging policies, in other words: how to blog and take advantage of business opportunities without selling your soul. Finally, Kelly Erb (aka TaxGirl) will be on hand to discuss, gulp, your taxes.

    Hopefully, many of you will be at the conference (please stop by and say hello!) – otherwise, if you have a specific question about blogging and tax, post it below. I’ll try to answer it here (time permitting). I’ll also link to the BlogHer live blogger (identity as yet unknown to me) at the panel, so that you can read what I have to say (as well as Nina, Denise and Liz!).
