Why in the world would someone like me want to go to Blog World Expo, or any other blogging conference?  Would would someone like me NEED to go? Aren’t bloggers twenty and thirty-somethings?  Don’t they write about diapers and projectile vomit and daycare and breastfeeding at the workplace?  Bloggers are also techies, right?  Bloggers are … [Read more]
