My take on Blissdom

BlissdomI didn’t really know what to expect when I showed up at Blissdom.  I knew it was a blogging conference and a big one.  By the online posts I read most people seemed to be wowed by Blissdom.  I can see why people are.  It was flashy!

Blissdom ConferenceI found the people everywhere (staff, bloggers, sponsors) to be very friendly and welcoming.  That was what I enjoyed the most, just connecting with people.

Blissdom SpeakerBlissdom’s purpose I found out while I was there was more to inspire and motivate and also to facilitate that connecting.  The speakers were entertaining and fun.  There wasn’t a whole lot of technical help.  I read somewhere that if you can Google it, it won’t be at Blissdom.  So maybe some of the help that I would be interested in is Googleable or maybe there is another conference more along those lines.  I enjoyed my time, but I don’t know that I felt inspired and motivated exactly.  Actually, I really like where I am.  I don’t have dreams of being famous or being on TV.  I just want to…share our life and laughs with those who want to read it, and continue to bless my family with some fun things along the way!

Blissdom workshopI did learn a few things at some of the workshops, but found much of the content way over my head.  I felt a little hick at Blissdom.  I wanted to say in my best Texas twang.  I’m just a wife and homeschool mom running my little blog on the side.  Could you repeat that in English?  🙂

I didn’t make it to the evening get togethers, so I can’t tell you about them.  Honestly, I don’t drink or dance nor do I watch soap operas–ha ha, so they just weren’t really my thing.

But yes, I absolutely did enjoy Blissdom.  It might  not have been exactly what I expected, but I was mostly hoping to connect with people, and Blissdom made that very easy.  Would I go again?  Yes, if it happened to be local again next year, I would try to go.  I do think it was worth it!

    You are definitely not a hick, Esther! You have accomplished a lot with your blog! I’m wondering if I’ll feel the same way at the BlogHer conference this summer.

    Hi! Stopping by from UBP13. Enjoyed my visit and look forward to reading more. The booger advice your husband gave your kids made me laugh. I could give the same to my teenagers! This must be my day for reading about Blissdom. I had never heard of it. Seems everyone was there. Amy
