These blog posts have been going up all over the internet. Here is mine. 🙂
I am by no means a fashion blogger. My “what I wore”posts happen when, in my foggy morning daze, I put something together that is [maybe] worth photographing.
As an educator, I like to dress to impress – students and co-workers…at least for the first couple months. 😉

Do you pick your outfit the night before or on the fly?
So I signed up for this event because I wanted tips on how to be a better blogger. The tip you might notice as of recently? Design. I played with my template for a couple days and came up with my current template. 🙂
[I keep calling her by her twitter handle, amorby, in my head :)]
I finally got to meet some of my friends! It was a very liberating experience, to talk to someone about your blog layout, cameras, html, readership, etc, without boring the crap out of them! And the funniest bits were when we would go out to eat, and everyone would whip out the camera. Or several ladies taking outfit posts simultaneously. <3
More highlights include a sweet photography workshop, and Q&A with oh-so-many blogging ladies.
Maria and I.
Since I used to live in Austin, and have been there plenty, I tried to enjoy the company more so than the atmosphere – especially since the weather was cruddy for the most part! Everyone with whom I spent my free moments was incredibly genuine, and much sweeter than I imagined. <3
While the social events were a bit too crowded for my taste [but that’s a good thing for TXSC!:)], the panels on our last day were amazing! I took down so many notes and made so many plans…
Now comes the follow through. 🙂
Thanks so much to Indiana and her helpers for putting everything together! If you were considering going next year…DO IT.

Also make sure you check out these ladies’ blogs for more photographs of the event!
p.s. how amazing would you feel to find the t-shirts you designed for sale in a store??
congrats, Renee!
The new layout looks great! I wish I could have been there last weekend. It sounds like you guys learned a lot. And…YAY for Renée! I was so excited when she tweeted the pictures of the shirts! 🙂
it was so much fun! i want to find more bloggy things to sign up for now 🙂
TxSC sounds like such an amazing time. I didn't even hear about it until just before the even – There's always next year! I've never [yet!] had an experience meeting a blog friend that wasn't wonderful – time to do more of it in 2012!
i've actually met a couple ladies from the internets and it was such a rad time. since you kind of already know each other, it's just like…hanging out 🙂
It looks like so much fun!! I totally want to come next year. And I love your new blog layout! 🙂
thank you! and i hope you do!
Looks like you had a wonderful time together! Love the old keys and the candy shop 🙂 xx

the candy shop was my faaaaaave. lots of stuff i can't find in many places 🙂
It seems like you guys really had a great time. I've had a similar experience with meeting people who have been my penpals for a long time and it's very comforting and lovely to have the company of people who you have so much in common with!
Do they do blog conventions like this all over the country?
i bet they do! i know some folks throw their own blogger meet ups. you can google them in your area? 🙂
Oooh so awesome!! Looks like such a great time! 🙂 I'm glad you went & got a chance to have an amazing weekend!
maybe one day i will see you at one of these things! 🙂
ROXY! I love your guts. I seriously feel like I'm going through withdrawals. Maybe I can visit Texas again and you can help me learn fractions since I never did in 4th grade. waaaah waaaaaah. Keep being awesome!
do eeeet! i will make fractions your BFFs 🙂
Ha! I saw Amy's picture and was like, "that's Amorby!" Looks like TXSC was a pretty happening event. 🙂
haha i'm glad someone else can relate! 🙂
I think I will be joining you for this next year!
Something I would totally be down for participating in, plus I've always wanted to go to Austin! <3
