BlogHer was the best conference I’ve <\/span>attended in some time. The participants were thoughtful and reflective and there was none of the chest-beating and posturing that you see at most conferences (is that a surprise?). Consider adding this conference to your schedule for next year. You won’t be sorry.<\/p>\n

Instead of blathering myself, I thought I’d let the attendees do the talking this time. Here are some quick audio interviews with BlogHer participants chosen more or less at random.<\/span><\/p>\n
