The Blissdom blogging conference has come and gone and I think I’ve spoken my quota of words for the next six months. I’m back with my (all male) peeps and in my uniform (velour pants and tee-shirt). As any good blogger would do, I offer you my recap of the little things I learned at Blissdom ’10:

1. The Opryland hotel is big. Like, …really really big.

2. Conferences can be very overwhelming if you’re an introvert. Am I the only one who feels that way??

3. Young women and moms are the fastest growing groups of entrepenuers today.

4. Women like photo bracelets. I got a lot of compliments on mine. (Want one? I’ve got a promo code! See below*)

5. White Chocolate Bliss is yummy.

6. Hotel food is rather overpriced.

7. The first time I went to a blog conference, the breakout sessions were the most helpful and informative part of the conference. The second time (and third) time I went, the one-on-one interactions were the most helpful and informative part of the conference.

8. I really want a Roomba now.

9. A laptop backpack is essential at a conference.

10. Harry Connick Jr. is a gifted performer and a gentleman.

11. Ivy is as sweet as her mother, Stephanie (and looks just like her).

12. Darcie can navigate a rental car, in the rain, at night, in a strange city like nobody’s business. Don’t let her fool you.

13. Pokens are cool, if you…and everybody else…remembers to bring them.

14. George Duran is really nice in person.

15. You should definitely use Google Analytics to track you stats.

16. I already knew this, but Michelle from Scribbit is a genuinely nice person.

17. I never take as many pictures as I tell myself I’m going to.

18. Make it very clear what your blog policies are (privacy, disclosure, advertising, comment deletion, etc), and when you’re offering advertorial content.

19. The Pleated Poppy makes the cutest posy pins (and I just bought me some…).

20. Using plugins like Link Within is effective in increasing page views and length of visit to your site.

21. Thanks to Audrey at Mom Generations, I realize my wardrobe needs a little face lift (and if she can dress all cute and feminine with 4 boys, I can do it with 3…right?).

For other Blissdom recaps, visit Musings of a Housewife (who hangin out with was one of the best parts of Blissdom!)
