Hola! We just found out that we’ll be doing a wee book signing of our überpink book, The IT Girl’s Guide to Blogging with Moxie, at BlogHer ‘10 in New York!

Please stop by the BlogHer Bookstore on the 2nd Floor of the Hilton New York on Saturday, August 7 from 4:15pm-5pm and we’ll sign it for you. We’ll sign anything, really. Starbucks cups, boobs, babies… why should rockstars get all the fun?

See you there!

Just a reminder that we’ll be out of the office next week, August 4th - August 9th (Wednesday - Monday), while we’re attending the BlogHer Conference in NYC.  We will be available via email for emergencies, but otherwise will reply to your emails on our return.

We’re really looking forward to going and attending the various panels. It’s important to stay abreast of new trends, network (though I hate that word in this context) and communicate with our peers and business demographic, as well as blow off a little steam. Hopefully, we’ll return with some new tricks up our sleeves!

Kathy and I both will be attending various panels and mixers, but probably always together. We’re attached like that.  And we’re excited to meet you, so so if you see these two broads, say hello!

Greetings and salutations!  It’s been a while since we’ve updated. I wanted to do a post featuring some of the amazing sites we’ve launched over the last 6 months, but it’s… a little hectic right now. Due to unforeseen… well, everything it seems this Summer, some of my projects got a little (cough) bottlenecked and I’m spinning plates — salad plates, dinner plates, those little ones that come with your teacups… the whole 6-piece place-setting is in full spin.  Look at her go, ladies and gentlemen!

I’m doing my best to reply to everyone as quickly as possible and accommodate everyone’s requests, but I need to re-prioritize in order to meet everyone’s needs — including my own. Nobody wants a crazy web designer (well, maybe some of you do)!  I will be very focused on my projects at hand until the 2nd week of August, when we return from the BlogHer Conference.  Requests for an estimate and new work inquiries are always welcomed, but please note that my queue can fill up very quickly, so if you are interested in working with me, specifically, this Fall, please submit your Request for Proposal ASAP. I’m reviewing proposals for Fall as we speak and taking limited projects for the remainder of 2010. If I could clone myself for you, I totally would.

I have some incredible, patient, totally awesome to the max clients who deserve my full attention and I’m hell-bent on delivering their websites in all their glory before we head to NYC on August 4th.

Kathy is also attending the BlogHer Conference with me August 4-8th. She is booked right now, as she’s a full-time super mom, as well as a super designer, but she may have openings for the Fall.  If you want to work with her, specifically, please get your requests in as her availability is quite limited as well.

We so appreciate our clients… the new ones, the current ones, the clients of days gone by.  We couldn’t work our magic without you, so thank you for your requests!    And thanks for your patience while we play a little catch-up.

If you’re going to be at BlogHer 2010 in NYC, please say hi!  We’ll be the blonde and the brunette in the Hilton bar…

Or put them down, actually. It’s been a long, long time coming, but Put Down the Donut is back online!  Hooray! Parade! Confetti! Etc!

For those not familiar with Put Down the Donut, it’s a blog I started back in 2003, along with Kathy, to look at weight loss in an honest, candid, and humorous, no-sugar-coating kind of way. We shared recipes, talked a lot of Weight Watchers, reviewed fitness products and overall, had a really great time!  We garnered a growing following, were nominated for a Bloggie (2004, Best Group Weblog) and were even mentioned in national publication, Lifetime Magazine for Women (like the channel).

Well, after many, many requests and finally carving out the time to make it happen, The Donut, as it’s affectionately called, is BACK!  This time, we’ve got a new spin on things, but will have the same great content.  I’m still working on pulling the archives in — it’s a mighty task, but for now, we’re rolling things out with fresh posts written my yours truly, my partner-in-crime Kathy and some fabulous new contributors to be announced soon.

Hope to see you around!

A few months ago, I received a call from Erin Shaw Street at Southern Living Magazine, asking for some tips for those super new to blogging. After a few chats… and a few months… the article is out, both online and on newsstands nationwide (June 2010 issue). Yay! Congratulations to MamaLaw.com, the blog featured in the article, for being chosen Southern Living’s Blog of the Week.
