That photograph is so funny!<br /><br />I think the main thing I got out of it, was to remember why I did it, and that is for my family, and to go my own way. I too have written it down, as I think it really easy to lose site of it.gidders1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09311773750440035246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-4757384518506910572012-05-15T21:06:35.469+01:002012-05-15T21:06:35.469+01:00Really well put.

Mine started out as a reflection of my children as they grew and has expanded a bit, but really, there isn't more of a niche than what I have.<br /><br />Overall, I found a little inspiration as well as getting some needed affirmation that I'm ok with where I am.

Someone on a panel made precisely that point about yourself being your usp though, think it might have been Kerry Jean lister. <br /><br />Blogging can be whatever you want it to be. I'm serious about it, and it's fun, it can be both. I do think the awards can detract from it all, as well as adding that little something.liveotherwisehttp://liveotherwise.co.uk/makingitupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-21852769475726610692012-05-14T11:52:47.774+01:002012-05-14T11:52:47.774+01:00Thanks for mentioning my presentation - I'm gl...Thanks for mentioning my presentation - I'm glad you found it useful! It was great to finally meet you too.... wonderful trousers!<br /><br />I did feel that some people at the event did seem to be a little snobby about who should and shouldn't be allowed to blog. The joy of blogging for me is that I CAN offer useful advice and help, but also have a bit of a ramble about my latest prizes without worrying someone will criticise my writing style. And yes, maybe the main sessions could have focussed a little more on the positive side of blogging.... I loved hearing about @girlonetrack and @nataliemlue's experiences of the press and trolls, but it did panic me a little! <br /><br />I did have a fabulous day though - so nice to talk to real people instead of a little square box on Twitter...SuperLucky Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900843861649451029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-25898855048855391752012-05-14T11:32:50.627+01:002012-05-14T11:32:50.627+01:00Oh definitely!
