As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m at BlogHer ‘06, and I want to write about the sessions I plan on attending at BlogHer. That way, anyone who reads this before the session can give me a question they’d like me to ask for them.

The first workshop session I plan on attending on Friday July 28 is called So, You Have This Crazy Idea. As it says in the session description:

You want to start a community-based blog site, but aren’t sure where to start. Melanie Morgan, Nancy White, Susannah Gardner & Lauren Gelman are among those who will help you examine what’s out there, define what you can do differently, and create a plan to develop content, promote your efforts and watch your back….

This session is a how-to from a bigger-picture and more holistic perspective. How to tame a crazy idea, find out if it’s worth pursuing, figure out how-to pursue it, and pursue it with confidence. We have lined up four women who are uniquely qualified to help you do just that.

I plan on picking up some tips on blogs that center around a community of practice or interest. That can be an actual physical community, such as New York City, or it can be a community of practice such as lawyers, programmers, even bloggers.

Aside from learning more about community-based blogs, I expect that I’ll pick up some good tips on fostering community that would apply to any blog.

So if anyone has any questions they’d like me to ask, leave a comment here and I’ll try to get them answered.
