Very impressive that you’re so forthcoming with your ethics. I certainly applaud you for that! Please keep up the great work!

Robin – yes, BlogHer was quite the surprise for me.
Sophia – Thanks for the comment. I don’t think BlogHer is intentionally aimed at mommy bloggers. I mean, I was on a Food Blogging panel. That said, most of the women in the room were mommies, so Food Blogging took a turn towards making your own baby food. I would say that the majority of bloggers present were mommies. This isn’t a problem except that the marketers all expected us to be mommies and some of the mommies completely forgot that there were non-Moms there. I think the BlogHer conference is still finding its identity. Is it a mommy conference? Is it a blogging conference?
Susan – I also blogged about it over on the tech blog to which I contribute. (http://bub.blicio.us/blogging-with-integrity/) I’m very glad you created the pledge. I believe it’s needed! I hope, for my readers, it reinforces the policies I already had on my blog.

Sponsored posts! Wow, I am already skeptical about many review websites so I appreciate it when people are forthcoming/transparent. We need more of this in this “Payola” world we live in, so to speak.
I keep reading about the entitlement mentality of many at Blogher (shame) and how it was so based at mommies?? I did not attend so not sure what to make of all that. However, nothing against mothers, we all have one or came from one at sometime.Many women go through life w/o having kids and have plenty of valuable insight or life stories etc to share with the world. Maybe including recipes, and maybe not! Ha. If this Blogher thing was aimed at mothers all along forgive me for being ignorant of that fact.
Maybe there needs to be a blog deal get together, aimed at women that are not writing about families/kids. We all have families but some due to location/age or other circumstance, may not live with them anymore, but have lots of other things of interest to read about or share. Some people I have met, make their own families for a host of reasons.
Thanks for being honest in what you choose to blog about.

Interesting topics at BlogHer, indeed! Sponsored posts…a waste of time. Couldn’t agree more.
