Conferences Attending in 2014

This year I am being more selective in my conference attendance. Almost every year in the past 5 years, I have purchase a Blogher ticket but I haven’t always gone. I have three core conferences in mind this year. This year, I don’t even know WHEN Blogher is. This one conference that I will not […]

Google Reader Retiring: Feed Reader Alternatives?

When I signed into my Google Reader account today, I got a popup announcement that Google Reader was retiring as of July 1, 2013. I’ve already lost Adsense for RSS from Google and will also be losing iGoogle. This is all setting me into a panic to think WHAT IS NEXT for Google to get […]

Savings Nation Savings Classes

If you follow me on BargainBriana.com, you know that I have partnered with Savings.com to teach Savings Nation classes. These classes seemed to be a natural fit for the coupon workshops I was already teaching around Central Indiana. I also get to work with some of my favorite bloggers as partners and a company I […]

Blogher 2011 Expo

Most of my Blogher 2011 time was spent at the Expo Hall. I go to Savvy Blogging Summit to learn and I go to Blogher to interact with brands, other bloggers, and have to have fun! The Expo Hall was so much fun. Brands had some awesome ideas on how to make it interactive for bloggers. […]

Just Because I Signed Up for A Party….

Over the past week or so since the Blogher conference, I’ve noticed I’ve been added to several mailing lists. I thought to myself, maybe, I forgot I had requested to be on their mailing lists in my sleep deprived state. Then, today I received one email that stood out: You’ve been signed up for the […]

We Tried it Once, We Will Never Try Again

Let’s talk one particular conversation with a brand at the Expo Hall.  I won’t name any names. If you were there, I’m sure you will know who I am talking about. I will give them a little benefit of the doubt as it was 15 minutes until the Expo Hall was shut down for the […]

BlogHer 2011 Here We Come

San Diego – here we come!  Of course, if you are traveling with me, you will probably have some type of flight delays. This time, Denver was having storms and we had to circle around for about an hour before we could land. It took two times to make our approach because another plane didn’t […]
