If you are here because of these articles, thank you. Let me know if there is a topic you would like covered or a question you would like answered about blogging and WordPress.

Top Five Blogs That Make Me Think: eJabs’ author, Matthew Jabs, wrote “5 Blogs That Make Me Think”, in which he names Lorelle on WordPress as one of his top 5 blogs. I like being on these kinds of lists instead of the “big” lists as they are more personal and really speak from the heart rather than a popularity contest. Thanks, Mr. eJabs.

In I Love It When You Say Nice Things About Me, I mention that while I’m often embarrassed about the nice things people people say about me, it’s important to preserve these for posterity – and your resume.

Other mentions of recently include Ceskypooh’s World Hits 2,000 Views, iwaruna – Comment Policy Preview, and Chris Makarsky – Tag You’re It.

WordCamp 2007 will be July 21-22 in San Francisco for fans and developers of WordPress. There is now an official page.

Successful and Outstanding Blogger Conference: I’m now set and will be at the The Successful and Outstanding Blogger Conference (SOBCon07) in Chicago, May 11-12. It’s an amazing full day of workshops by top blogging and web professionals on community building and new interactive technologies to help you build your blog and your blogging business. I reviewed it in the Blog Herald with The Relationship Conference: Building Blogs Through Interaction. Space is very limited and time is running out.

WordPress Meetups: I list the WordPress events I find in my WordPress Wednesday on the Blog Herald, and recently started a WordPress Events Page to help publicize WordPress Meetups and groups.

    I seriously have problems trying to keep up with you, Lorelle.. (and I meant it in a nice way) I really really should hang out here more often and stop visiting other bloggers that blogged about what they had for breakfast, lunch and dinner 🙂
