Mark your calendars and come join us at the first Annual

Casual Blogger Conference

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!
