If you’ve never “attended” a #BlogChat, it’s simply a specified time that like-minded individuals come together to talk about content, blogging essentials, tips and tricks, and (this Sunday) blog design.

Get. Stinking. Excited. It's that time again - as if BlogWorld New York wasn't awesome enough, now I'm getting a double dose of awesomeness - west coast style. I just got my acceptance email stating that I will be speaking at BlogWorldLA. It's November 3-5 at the LA Convention Center, and if it's even HALF as awesome as New York was, it's going to…
