Yesterday I asked you what your favorite blogging experience was. Many of you cherish the connections you’ve made through blogging and I’m really happy to see that. It’s hard for me to pick just one experience to label as my favorite, so I thought I’d share a few.
- Discovering the 20SB network. I’ll admit that while blogging was enjoyable before the network, I didn’t start having fun until I met more bloggers. Without 20SB, I don’t think I would have found such an amazing community of bloggers. 20SB keeps it fun with the blog swaps, vlog days and blog carnivals.
- Liveblogging BlogHer ’08. I had the opportunity to sit in on sessions I probably would have overlooked had I not been asked to live blog. I met some truly amazing and inspiring women and learned a lot about bloggers, writing and myself in the process. Plus I got a cool badge that said “staff.” Yeah, I felt cool.
- Meeting amazing Chicago bloggers. I can remember my very first Chicago blogger meet-up. I cannot believe that I’ve known some of them for more than a year. We’ve had a lot of fun since the first one and I cannot wait to see what else is in store for us! I’ve developed some incredible friendships since then and I’m so proud to be a part of this community.
- Laughing until my abs hurt with Jamie. Jamie and I hit it off right away. I remember meeting her at Borders and talking for hours and taking funny leprachaun hat pictures. The memory that stands out the most is our dinner at Bahama Breeze. We were laughing so much and so hard that our abs hurt the next day. I couldn’t even tell you what was so funny and thats the best part – enjoying someone’s company so much that you feel completely comfortable letting go. And I can’t forget our sweet Scrabulous skills.
- Being a hostess. I love that I was able to invite my friends to enjoy a night of drinking, conversation and video games at the Nintendo GGG party. If it weren’t for my blog, I would have never been approached. It felt good to gather up my blogger and non-blogger friends in one room to enjoy some geeky fun.
So those are the experiences that stand out in my mind. I’m looking forward to new experiences, relationships and opportunities. Don’t forget to share your favorite blogging experience! I’m still giving away blog swag bundles and I want YOU to get one!

My fave blogging moment would probably be when I got my first comment or first link. That meant someone actually cared a little bit about what I wrote! A close second, would have to be this past weekend geeking out with you guys.

I think my favourite blogging experience was the first time a complete stranger emailed me to tell me how much she loved my blog.
