Mark your calendars and come join us at the first Annual
May 28th and 29th
The event will be held in Sandy, UT and you won’t want to miss it!
Who should attend The Casual Blogger Conference:
* The person who knows nothing about blogging, but wants to learn. By the end of the conference they will not only know HOW to start a blog, but how to design it, photograph for it and have inspiring posts.
* The person who wants to take their writing or photography to the next level but just does not know how. This conference has some of the best teachers in the industry available to help you learn the basics all the way to “the real deal”.
* The woman who feels she is “just a mommy blogger”. There is no such thing as “just” a mommy. This conference will offer her opportunities to see that her life has power as a mommy blogger.
* The person who wants to learn more about design, programming, and the importance of backing up your blog.
* The person who has a small business and wants to get different ideas on how to market better using social media. CBC’10 has something for everyone!

What a cool giveaway! I'd love to win!
I would love to win. I want to do something big with my blogs this year but I know i need help.
I NEED to learn more so I can SHARE more….I have so much to share, to give,to celebrate, and I feel so limited in my abilities to do so right now. To hear from those who know and be given advice and knowledge, so that I too can impart would be a most priceless gift to recieve. The creative process shared is so uplifting to the soul…Whoever is choosen will be richly blessed.
As someone who just started an online business and blog, I could definitely use this conference!
I would love to come, I have been an obsessed blogger, and have just started thinking how I need to make more of it.
I blogged, facebooked, and tweeted about this. I hope I get to go!
sounds like fun!!
I'd love to go, too! My blog is okay, but I'd like to take it to the next level!

We are ready to pack up the car and drive to Salt Lake from Arizona!
What a great giveaway – I would love to see Melanie from Sugardoodle – I have been gleaning from her site for years. We served missions together and I haven't seen her since we lived together in Barcelona! How cool would that be???
what excites me is that it's in UT and I can finally make it to the location! Just dont have the funds, I really would LOVE to win this giveaway! Going to facebook now!
Ok I facebooked it!
What excites me is that this conference focuses on learning more about blogging, writing, design, and growing your blog and less about some of the swag drama that happens at conferences. I really want to learn more about how to photograph my projects for my blog in order to take them to the next level.
On my list of "10 Things to Accomplish in 2010" is to attend a blog conference. But with three littles age 3 and under I wasn't sure how this was going to happen. BUT with my extended family in Provo area this is PERFECT! I would be so excited to win!!!
My sister is an avid blogger and I've always wanted to make my blog something special, she seems to have so much fun doing it. Of course we would both attend together!
I'd love to win! I've helped several people start blogs, but then they've all passed me up! So I'd love some expert tips. (Plus I'll even be in town visiting my folks!)
Fun! I definitely fall into the "Mormon Mommy Blogger but want to be more" category. This would be absolutely awesome!
Some of my favorite bloggers will be there! Sign me up to win!
OH How I NEED to win this! You have no idea how bad I want this!!! I really need to learn about the design and programming part of blogging(and of course, meeting other bloggers!) . Please choose me!!!
Becca, I just included this in a post on somedaycrafts.blogspot.com. and linked it back to this post. OH, how I would love to win.
The conference sounds amazing! I really want to start a blog for crafty ideas and for selling custom designed baby announcements/wedding invitations…but I'm not sure how to go about doing all of that. I read everyone else's AMAZING blogs every day and now I want to join them! Thanks for the opportunity – I hope that I can come to the conference!!!!
I would LoVe to win!! I just started blogging last month and it is all I can think about! haha! I desperately need some direction and help!
I would love to learn how to do HTML on my blog so I can do the design myself. Or at least some of it.
Please pick me. I am a middle aged used up housewife that needs a new outlet. I would be there for SURE!
I would love to win because I have lots of friends speaking and would like to network and meet lots of new friends!

Oh, heavens, how I would love a chance to win. I need to go to this conference! So many of the women that I blog with will be there and I want to meet them! More than anything else, that is why I want to be there.
I keep toying with the idea of taking my blog (glutenfreeinutah.blogspot.com) to a new level and starting up a new blog (I've got so many ideas! I just need to figure out how to best set up a blog for them). It'd be awesome to win, so I can learn all those things!
How fun would this be?! Hearing these amazing women speak in person would be truly magical!
ohmigosh! I would LOVE to go to this conference. Mostly because I've never met another blogger IRL! On twitter I've met 100+ people, but no bloggers yet. =(
Oh my gosh you want only One reason…well thats a pretty tall order LOL. I would really like to start my own business by selling my handmade items and increase my readership with lovely posts and the photography thing…oh goodness I hope you get the idea that it would be so lovely to win! Thanks.
The list of speakers excites me the most!
This conference sounds exciting! I am so ready to take my "hobby" blog to the next level and expect to get lots of tips at this conference to help me do so.
I would absolutely LOVE to win this! It is just what I need to get my bow business going.
Oh wow! I'd love to go!!!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it, I need something to start off a new year- Last year was a VERY DIFFICULT one for me in SO many way. Thanks for this opportunity.. Thanks again.
oh my. this sounds AMAZING!! So many of my heros all in one place, telling me how i can me like them.
I would LOVE to step up my blogging, but I always feel like I can't justify it because I am "just" a mommy blogger. This would be so good for me!
I enjoyed reading your blog. Keep it that way.
