I’m not sure if BlogHer holds events in London, but London does have a WordCamp (a community-organized conference on blogging and WordPress) — you can learn more and keep an eye on the schedule here: http://central.wordcamp.org/schedule/

Michelle – – Yay…glad you’re definitely attending! Will watch for emails from you. I have been talking with other women who have been coming for years now (they’ve made it possible for us to interact Pre-conference which is so nice!) Everybody is so knowledgeable & helpful. But I will know nobody and feel a bit anxious. So in keeping with that premise, I wrote a short spoof yesterday about calling BlogHer on the phone. Maybe someone here will get a chuckle from it.

Their main handle is @BlogHer, and there’s also a @BlogHerblogging handle; I don’t think there’s a handle just for the conference.
