Two styles to choose from on the BlogPaws 2011 Badges page.
UPDATE 3: Yes, it's Jan. 31 already. Don't miss it!
Also, to nip the brewing Twitter revolution in the bud (@grouchypuppy, @dlsilver, @dancingdogblog, @vscook), working on providing special badges for returning BlogPaws Alums! Stay tuned!
UPDATE 2: Another reason to register early! The Sheraton is extending the special BlogPaws room rates for 3 days before AND after the conference, so you can plan to see some Washington DC sites, too. But only "subject to availability of guest rooms at the time of reservation" — so don't wait!
Big plans, big doings, lotsa learning and lotsa fun!

Hello, this is Nikita Cat, Offishul Repurrter for The Cat Blogosphere, and writer of Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat.
The last 6 months have not been easy for us, what with a new kitten to mentor, me with Arthritis, and Daddy un-employed.
I have not been able to keep up with your wonderful website like I'd planned.
But that will change.
Daddy is taking a Leap of Faith, and though we do not know what our situation will be in August...He just registered to attend Blog Paws 2011.
As some know we are big fans of this blog, and the conventions, and have always regreted not being able to attend the first 2 as we feel there is so much we can learn, and gain.
We felt it was important that Daddy Kiril try to go this time.
So we have the next 5 months to save for 3 days at the hotel, and for his plane tickets, and hope for the best.
I now have a badge on my sidebar, and Daddy has one on his blog, too.

Ha! Now we twitter rabble rousers will put a lid on it! Nice badges ya got there. See you in August and thanks for the credit - I have a rep to uphold;-D

Hello!
Won't be able to attend it :(
Maybe you could do a virtual one after the actual conference? for those who couldn't make it? I know there are many others out there who can't make it physically to this great conference.
I came across a virtual conference today that was pretty impressive! (immediately thought of BlogPaws conference when I saw it haha) It was created by UNISFAIR.
