Tomorrow evening the festivities for BlogHer Food 13 will unofficially begin. Food bloggers from all over the place will be congregating in Austin, rubbing elbows, living it up, and honing their bloggy skills.
By the by, I'd love to meet you. No, really, I mean it. It truly makes me happy to meet people who read my blog, so if you see me at BlogHer Food please don't be shy. I'm the thirty-something year old woman with half her hair cut off and an avocado/ice cream cone tattoo. I look like this:
I'm excited to be speaking on a panel this year, all about distributing video content. I'll be accompanied on the panel by the ever-so-lovely Hilah Johnson of Hilah Cooking. The panel will be moderated by Stacie Billis, who blogs at One Hungry Mama. If you are attending BlogHer Food I would love for you to come and listen to us discuss the ins and outs of video blogging. The Panel is titled How and Where to Distribute Your Video and will be taking place on Saturday afternoon.
In addition to speaking on a panel, I intend to soak up as much knowledge as I can during all of the other panels and workshops going on. After perusing the schedule, I have my eye on the following lineup.
