My belated take on Blogher
Obviously, I didn't go to Blogher.
There have been no posts about trips alone, away from talkative children. Nothing about being nervous to meet people I've only read. About exciting discussions and meet-your-cobloggers mixers. No anxiety ridden discourses on knowing no one, being outclassed by the writers and feeling like I'm 14 on the first day at a new school.
All you get is this post about feeling like I missed out on the fun. Like I'm an outsider in a group that pretty much doesn't know I exist, through no fault of their own, and I didn't get to go to the party.
I know I don't have many readers, and that doesn't really bother me. This isn't so much about you as it is about me. I don't care about making money off the site, even if I thought I could. (Don't get me wrong, if someone wants to throw cash at me, I'll take it!) But while I don't consider myself anywhere near the class of of writer of most of the blogs I read, I do still at least consider myself in the same genre. And because of that, I think it would have been exciting to attend.
Maybe next year?

I am sad that I missed out on BlogHer too. I feel just like you do, as if I don't fit in with the other bloggers.
But guess what, WE DO! And I will be going next year too!
