Aloha Friday ~ Jan. 28th

It's Friday again and that means it's time to join in with Kailani at An Island Life for a simple question/answer meme. If you'd like to join in the fun, hop over to her blog for details on how to participate and a place to link your post in. 

Today, I'm actually at my first ever blog conference, Blissdom, in Nashville TN. I was blessed to win a first prize package from One2One Network that included my hotel stay and a conference pass. {I'll be posting more on this later}

So...my question to you is...

Have you ever attended a blog conference? If yes, which and if no, why? 

I know personally, I struggle with getting the money together for a blogging conference. If I hadn't won the prize I did, I wouldn't be attending Blissdom this year. I'm VERY grateful for the opportunity and even happier that I'm at this first conference representing myself and my blog; not backed by gobs of sponsors who I'm working for. Don't get me wrong, I would never turn down a sponsorship opportunity for any blogger anything, but, just this first conference...it's nice to just be me representing me. You know?
