It occurred to me that the best place to wrangle instructors for BlogHerNot is right here with you. The experts. Ma Doogs. And since I kind of just pulled this outta Ma Butt a few days ago, I’m running a little … er, behind.
So, here’s my proposal. Pick one of the course topics in the post directly below, or come up with one of your own, and run with it! Email me the link by midnight MST Thursday — mommypie9494@gmail.com — link back to me, and I’ll post your “presentation” here Friday morning for a full day of classes.
And by all means, feel free to copy and add the official Bodacious BlogHerNot ‘08 Badge (above) to your post! If we work it right, the blog love will be spread far and wide.
Of course, there’s also the KICK-ASS PARTY this weekend … cocktails anyone?
Pass it on Doogs!

Sign me up for some comment whore posting. And Jesus H, am I the only mofo who just leaves the ol’ Google Reader open so as not to miss new posts?
Um, yay me for proving I’m qualified to teach about comment whoring? Sweet Ganesh eating a peanut.

You will forever be Comment Ho in my head.
July 16, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I’m kinda confused. I’m not a good BlogHerNot instructor. Guess I’ll just have to be a kick-ass attendee.
But don’t forget to come the Human Party I’m sponsoring! You should make me a badge for that, Mommypie. I’m thinking lots of glitter. And strobe lights.
July 16, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Wha?? SWM, you’d be GREAT! All you have to do is write a post (on your site) about blogging and send me the link — I’ll fully pimp it for you! And I’m SO coming to your place for the Human Party. I’ll make sure the Doogs know. Just be prepared. They like to drink.
A lot.

Professor McMommy here!!! I’ll take the how to earn a living one!!
July 16, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Perfect – can’t wait!
** And so everyone knows, there’s no limit to the number of instructors per topic. If someone else picks the topic you want, you can still take it. **

I want “How to Nail a Psycho YouTube Commenter Against the Wall.” I’ll be posting tonight.
July 16, 2008 at 2:22 pm
THAT’S AWESOME. You’re so on the list.
July 16, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Oooo oooo ooh! Me me me!! I’m an excellent Stalker… Ask anybody!
July 16, 2008 at 2:34 pm
How do you think I came up with the topic? You stalking BHJ until he followed you … evil genius.
July 16, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I’d be honored to pass on the information I gleaned in decades of corporate sleazation: How to act interested and then do nothing. It’s an artform that must be shared.
July 16, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I’ll teach something! But I didn’t see a list of topics. Am thinking…
July 16, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Oops. I posted my “5 Stages of Blogging” crap before I knew about the instructorship.
That might have worked like 3 days from now.
Meanwhile, will rack brain for new topic.
July 16, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Can I blog about what it’s like to deal with a coworker whose work ethic goes down because she’s blogging at work instead of actually WORKING???
July 16, 2008 at 3:16 pm
SNAP.
July 16, 2008 at 5:09 pm
I’m supposed to be going to Movie Night Saturday. I may have to cancel, this is gonna be good!
July 16, 2008 at 5:19 pm
i’ll blog about how rocking BlogHerNot 08 was
July 16, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Are you talking about ME, QB? You’re not really my arch nemesis, the Creepy Dude in the Next Cubicle, are you?
July 16, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Sign me up for the extra credit course on How to be a Self Indulgent Vlogger– that’s short for Video Blogging for the newbies
Sure to keep you on the cutting edge of trends and in the front of the line for all the hate mailers.

I am so all about flooding Twitter with our fabulous conference. I have to teach a class on Victorian images of working-class women for SIX HOURS on Friday, but I will write a post the night before teaching something else and schedule it to post on Friday…hmm…how about The Five Best Ways to Build Blogging Time into Your Schedule without “Accidentally” Losing Your Children in Target to Buy Time? It’s a bit long to be really catchy, but the topic might be useful. And then, once this 3 days/18 hrs of IRL class is over, I will be sipping wine, reading blogs, hanging with ma doogs (in my jammies, OF COURSE), and leaving comments like the coming-out-of-retirement ho that I want to be. Damn (can I say that on this blog?) I’ve missed active blogging this past week!
July 16, 2008 at 8:55 pm
I have no idea.
Perhaps I might just make a better student than instructor. Unless of course anyone cares to learn the fine art of being a comment Nazi…also known as “how to make whining on Twitter work for you!”
July 16, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Modern Single Momma, MommyTime and Auds –
Those are ALL fantastic topics — can’t wait to read your posts!! (Auds, this means YOU too — Whining on Twitter/Comment Nazi is PERFECT.)
July 16, 2008 at 10:01 pm
I’m in. I don’t know which course yet but dammit I’ll come up with something!
I can haz booze at this thing?
July 16, 2008 at 11:16 pm
No skillz here, but I posted a badge in my sidebar!

Awesome MSM! I’ll be over to read it and will link you on Friday …

Can we have fruity, beachy drinks? I’ll be joining in from the beach if the house has wireless. Ooh, nibble on the fingernails and pray we do!
July 17, 2008 at 7:14 am
I have no idea what I am meant to be doing with BlogHerNot, but I imagine I would be just as clueless with the real thing.
July 17, 2008 at 8:02 am
I just want to attend and get drunk in the back of the room and yell “FREEBIRD”!! Is that cool?
July 17, 2008 at 8:08 am
Veronica, I’m with you. I’ll be thinking of a topic today, but in case I can’t, I’d like to participate in EVERY ONE of those discussions. They sound very helpful!
July 17, 2008 at 8:20 am
bejewell~I’m a certainly NOT “creepy dude in the next cubicle.” haha. But don’t worry, I’m guilty of the blogging at work too! That’s why it’s my topic.
July 17, 2008 at 8:36 am
oooh. I’ve got one.
How to Blog at work and not get caught.
I’m still working on a more clever title. Any suggestions?
July 17, 2008 at 9:38 am
Oh man. I was totally waiting for something like this. I needed a place to ride my Harley and wear my assless chaps.
July 17, 2008 at 9:45 am
I’ll take this one “Toilet Seats While On Travel” or “My Adventures in Hovering” kisses, standing still (wearing my assless chaps)

I wanna come! Can I post about alternate uses for those lime Popsicles accumulating in the back of the freezer?

July 17, 2008 at 11:12 pm
I’ll be at the beach too. Isn’t it pathetic that I’m a little sad to have to miss out on all the bloghernot festivities to go to the beach. I should teach a class on “How Not to Let Blogging Rule Your Entire Life”
July 17, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Actually I shouldn’t teach it, I need to attend it.
