Notice a gap in posting?

Earlier this week I was talking to someone who I finally got to meet in person from Twitter. She and I were talking about my blog and she said that she loved it and the post that I had shared with her. She did say that she noticed a gap in posts from 2013 to 2015. I feel like I need to try and explain this the best that I can.

A good friend of mine who was a social media hero and website expert was the person who helped me switch my blog from being hosted on WordPress to being hosted with a private company so I could have more control over the site itself. She passed away suddenly and all of my blog information was lost. I was being hosted on her private hosting. Myself and quite a few other people lost access to their sites. I fortunately had a back up of my blog from 2013 but I lost everything in between.

After months of work I now have my blog back up and running. Hope this helps explain the gap in posting and I am trying my best to keep up with the mass amount of posts that I need to rewrite – repost and then save to my server.

As always, Peace, Love and Tweeting

Is BlogHer for you? I think so …

As some of you know I spent the past weekend in Chicago at the annual BlogHer conference. It was a lot of fun … I feel like I might need to sleep for about a week but definitely worth it! Here are some tips and must haves if you plan on attending in 2014.

– Defiantly stay at the official conference hotel. We would come back to our room everyday to find cute little packages from various people and brands. The bag from Steve Harvey was my absolute favorite. It had a little note from him and also a mustache that you were supposed to take photos with and use hash tag #steveharveyblogher2013 and also mention him on Twitter at @IAmSteveHarvey.

– Make sure that you purchase your tickets with the advance purchase option. It was about half the cost and at only $200 for almost 3 days of conference sessions, not to mention an invite to all the exclusive parties.

– When you check into the hotel ask what floors the parties are going to be located on and request another floor. I was pooped by Saturday night and couldn’t wait to goto sleep but the final party was on my floor and you could hear it loud and clear until about 1am.

– Bring an extra suitcase! You maybe wondering why? I have 1 word for you … SWAG SWAG and more SWAG! This photo of the car should sum it up!

– Business cards are a must … And the amount you think you need to bring should be doubled. I am so happy I put that extra box in my suit case.

Overall I learned a lot about myself and my business – blog. I feel confident in some of the things that I am doing and also have some new ideas I would like to try. Please feel free to email me with any other questions you might have at HUNKSrHANDBAGS@gmail.com
