I just learned about this up and coming conference from a fellow blogger.  It’s The Relevant Conference.

They have a Mission Statement which includes this:

Relevant is a one-of-a-kind conference that seeks to engage women by teaching blogging techniques and social media skill while also urging and encouraging women to live fully integrated lives with their faith and family.

If you’re a Christian blogger who craves an in person event, this could be a good fit for you.  Be prepared to sock some cash away though – as with most events, the conference ticket and hotel will set you back quite a few precious dollars.

If you can’t go but would love to sponsor someone else, check out this blogger’s pitch for sponsorship.

Session Four of the Mom’s Talk Network Blogging Internship is starting up in March.  If you have ten hours a week for ten weeks available to serve as a blog intern you can earn access to an amazing internet marketing education.

Check it out here.

Have you noticed that one of the fastest growing niches in the blogosphere is that of Plus Size Bloggers?

Plus Size Bloggers = People blogging about their efforts to lose weight and get in shape.

There’s a brand new website getting ready to celebrate their launch on Twitter next week that intends to celebrate and reward these bloggers on a regular basis.

If you blog about your weight loss efforts, you can submit your blog – thus volunteering to be tracked on their website.  If you are faithful to report your weight loss efforts on a weekly basis all through their quarterly tracking schedule, you are entered to win a Wii Fit Plus and other awesome prizes.

In addition to recognizing the efforts of Plus Size Bloggers, the site also intends to feature and appreciate other blogs that serve their needs.

Visit the site and submit your Plus Size Blog!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Lara Valez of Designed by Lara and had a great experience that I want to share with you.

My friend Angel wanted to start a new blog.  Usually, I would want to design a blog for a friend – but I knew that she would be interested in a particular style of graphics that I’m not especially gifted for.  I immediately thought of Lara and invited Angel to check out her work.

It was a match at first sight and we quickly secured a spot on Lara’s design schedule.

Lara has a very polished and professional approach.  There was a detailed questionnaire for Angel to complete and we were able to communicate everything we wanted in the new design.

Right on schedule, Lara created the new blog design and presented it to us for review.  We were super impressed and couldn’t wait to put the design on Angel’s blog! (See it at plussizeskills.com!)

If you are in need of a classy new blog design, I heartily recommend Lara.
