Back at last! With Blogher, vacation and the “I’ve been out of the office for ten days” shuffle when I returned, I haven’t had a chance to blog at all! But thankfully I have returned in one piece and am ready to hit the ground running again with updates galore!
First up, let’s talk about the Blogher conference. It was awesome. It isn’t often that women create a space like that for themselves where techology and personality meet up and it was really cool to see it in effect. That I and got to meet a ton of really cool chicks! I was really lucky to meet fellow sex blogger Fivestar on the first day. Not only does she write for a porn site as well, she was seriously the only other sex blogger there. And queer to boot! We totally brought sexy back to all the mommy bloggers that didn’t get how our blog topics had something in common. Come on ladies, 9 times out of 10, sexin’ is what makes you a mommy in the first place! Anyway, Fivestar also interviewed me for her site, which you can see here.
As it turns out, blogger chicks are totally into women’s porn! Duh! Why wouldn’t they be? Everyone was super excited to talk to me about the site and grab one of my business cards. They were really interested to see that their was a blog and actual conversations about sex on a porn site, not only the movies. And so far a few people have commented on their own blogs about meeting me. Apparently I leave an impression. Who knew? So to all the ladies that were at the conference, thanks for making this sex writin’ oddball feel so warmly welcomed!
Unfortunately I did not get a chance to snap any pictures because I broken my camera in New Orleans last month. Oh well. At least I have a stack of business cards piled high on my desk to root through!
Next up was vacation in Portland, which was awesome and relaxing. I went to visit friends who took me all around the city and showed me all Portland has to offer, including farmer’s markets, dyke bars, lots of parks and one massive bookstore. Powell’s was insane! It’s a city block big and full to the brim with rooms and rooms of books! Weirdly, I couldn’t find a human sexuality section on the map, though it must have been there, buried under health or something, I’m sure. I did end up buying Dan Savage’s latest book, The Commitment, while I was there. Just can’t seem to get away from the sex writing, huh? Even on vacation.
All in all my trip was really fun and I learned a ton at Blogher on making blogs really shine. Sorry for the lack of posting, but when vacation calls, I just have to answer!

Oh hai from San Francisco! I’m at the Blogher Conference for women bloggers as we speak, about to start a session on Content Syndication and Promotion. As much as we love our readers, I want to know how to get even more!
The conference started today and so far I’ve:
- Met a video blogger that works for another porn company. Yay Porno bloggers!!
- Have seen a bunch o’ babies hanging out with their mommy bloggers.
-Sat on on a huge presentation where someone spelled a domain name wrong and porn came up. Opps!
- Learned a ton of stuff about entertainment blogs and how to get accurate info about entertainment
-Met a few dozen bloggers that write about relationships, organic household cleaners, finance, kids, etc. Everyone writes something different!
Basically, it’s been amazing so far. Even just seeing how many different kinds of people are here! My favorite conversation so far was talking to few people about how sex blogs and mommy blogs really do have something to do with each other! And it’s true!
I’ll keep updating! Off to learn about social bookmarking!
xoxo
