My First Blogger's Adventure...Bloggy Boot Camp

Today is the one month anniversary of my blog.   
It seems fitting that this weekend, tomorrow actually, I embark on a little adventure.
That's right.  I'm going to Bloggy Boot Camp 
Can I hear a "Woot, Woot!"
Now I really don't know what to expect.  After all, I'm just a girl who started a blog almost by accident.  Notice I said "almost."  I wonder if I would have ever started blogging if it weren't for my own technical snafu.  I am still chuckling about that.

I was playing around on Blogger checking out the template designs, fonts and all that stuff.
When I went back to continue the next day, I noticed my friend Traci was my first follower.  After a few minutes of furiously texting her, I realized that my page was live, but of course, there were no posts on it.  Traci said to just start writing.  So that's what I did.  And the rest, well, the rest is available along the right side of my page...in the archives - all four weeks of them.

Anyhow, about Bloggy Boot Camp...
What I am told is that I will learn a ton of great stuff.  I'd like to have Twitter explained to me, cuz right now, I'm flying by the seat of my pants.  I am also expecting this to be, mostly, an amazing networking opportunity.  I love meeting new people. Andt I do realize that, when it comes to blogging, I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground.  So I will look to the SITS ladies and my fellow bloggers to show me the way.
So, off I go tomorrow morning to the train station.  There's something very relaxing about the train.  I like it because I don't have to sit in traffic.  It's very relaxing.  I can listen to music, sleep, eat, walk around and stretch my long legs...I could go on and on...
When I am on the train, I like to pretend that I am in a movie.  I will meet a mysterious stranger, and we will have a fascinating conversation about something terribly intriguing.  
Or this will be the day that the local schools take their students on a field trip, and it will be so noisy and crowded that I won't be able to hear myself think.  Ugh!

Maybe I should get a ticket in Business Class...
believe me, it's worth the extra seventeen bucks!

  2. This will be my first blog conference experience as well. Excited and nervous at the same time. Believe me, you won't be alone. I've been blogging since August and I still haven't a clue what I'm doing.

  4. Can I just tell you how totally envious I am, Gina? I've been blogging for some years and I haven't gotten to go to a Bloggy Boot Camp, plus you're in San Diego seeing all MY friends. So, you better be having a marvelously fantastic time!
