I am relatively new to blogging, have spent lots of time researching the world of blogging, and am continually amazed at all there is to learn and do to take my blog to the next level.
On of the best things about blogging is the community of people who write and follow blogs. Whenever you need advice about something, have a blogging problem that needs resolved, want to share an idea, or just want to reach out and build friendships, there are so many wonderful people just a click away.
As I continue to build my blog, I am excited to learn about all the blogging conferences that are on the horizon. The talented speakers that have been pulled together for each of the conferences is amazing, and the list of topics to be covered is impressive. I am excited to attend and learn all there is about blogging.
Listed below is just a sampling of the blog conferences scheduled for December 2010 and into 2011.

I’m hoping to attend the Blissdom conference in Nashville, TN since it’s only a couple of hours from my home. I’m excited about the writing workshops, since that is my passion! Are you considering the Design Bloggers conference? I enjoy your posts about design topics and your passion for that shines through all your writings.
Kimberly,
I am attending Lavish, here in Atlanta and am also considering Blissdom in Nashville as well. I have the Design Bloggers conference on my Christmas list, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. While the conferences will be great, I am looking forward to meeting so many of the people I have connected with through my blog. I’ll keep you posted on my plans for Nashville, and we will definitely have to meet if we both go. Happy Thanksgiving.
