This past week I participated in the #SummerBlogSocial over at A Belle, A Bean, & A Chicago Dog and Four Plus an Angel. Through the whole week, I was lucky enough to network with some awesome bloggers, meet some new people and in the process learn a lot about myself. So while everyone else is posting their BlogHer takeaways, I have a few of my own...I've learned...
* that most of us have gone through similar experiences and share the same insecurities. I think this is why we are such a close, supportive, community.
*finding my niche is something that I worry about far too much. People read my blog because they can relate to my writing, not because I am an expert about something.
*commenting on Blogger blogs is the most frustrating thing. Ever.
*I need to get my ass in gear and get over to WordPress.
*that comparing myself to other bloggers isn't going to get me anywhere.
*that I don't need to go to a fancy conference to meet people and learn about how to better hone my blogging skills.
*that I still want to though.
*that just because you haven't met someone face to face, doesn't mean you cant call them "friend"
Whether you participated in #SummerBlogSocial or were lucky enough to go to BlogHer '11... What did you learn about yourself there???
