Well, I have been off the grid for the past few days at Camp WorldWIT in Lake Geneva Wisconsin. It was a terrific weekend of meeting smart successful women from all over the country, and in fact from overseas as well. Of course, I had withdrawal symptoms from not having Internet access until I hit the Admiral’s Club on Sunday morning before my flight home.
Some of my highlights:
All three keynote speakers were excellent: Sheila Cavanaugh, SVP at Fidelity, Dr. Sheila Dugan from Rush University Medical Center and Rosalyn Wesley, Director of Corporate HR at Fortune Brands.
Kathleen Ameche’s tale of the process to publish her new book, The Woman Road Warrior.
The wonderful women who attended the panel on which I was a speaker. They had terrific questions about blogging, and I really enjoyed meeting and speaking with them. Below I have posted the additional links I promised during the session.
Sunrise yoga.
Some really great sessions on sales and marketing issues. It is great to meet people of like mind who believe in a sales and marketing partnership, versus a war.
And last but not least, all the terrific women I met during the weekend.

Links
Typepad and Blogger, two well known hosted services for blogs. Blogger is free, but I think less functional for business blogging. I use Typepad.
Two search engines for blogs: Technorati and PubSub
I also want include the WorldWIT blogs: Business Mom, Networking for Success, PRGirl, The Customer Clique and The Male Perspective
As I start hearing back from the women I met at Camp WorldWIT about their new blogs, I will create a new category on my blogroll, and include the WorldWIT ones as well.

I have been a blogger for years. I loved Moveable Type as well until the comment spam (even with Blacklist) made me nuts. I tried recently WordPress and Dreamhost to host it and found it incredibly easy to not only build but also to host. In fact Dreamhost will automatically install all you need for WordPress to work. I was aghast and pleasantly surprised at the easiness of it all. Just an FYI.
Love your blog.
