BlogPaws Presentations Featured on Slideshare's Pets Page

Woo-hoo! I got an email from the Slideshare editorial team that one of the presentations from BlogPaws 2010 West was being featured on the Slideshare Pets Page today!

Since it might not be in the main group by the time you get there (the screen shot is from this morning) here's a direct link to David Binkowski's presentation on helping animal shelters use social media. David joined us from sponsor Rachael Ray's Nutrish and MyShelterSite.com.

In addition to featuring this one, I found two more of our presentations in the Pets section: Jane Harrell's (from Petfinder.com) with her 4 Step Tool Kit for shelters, and our own BlogPaws co-founder Yvonne DiVita's on writing essentials (this is Tom, btw, and that's my girl!).

A BlogPaws West Recap

from guest blogger, Grace Boyle of Lijit

A couple of weekends ago I attended (and presented at) the great conference for pet bloggers - BlogPaws West. My co-worker, Chelsea Latimer, attended with me, and we both agree it was an incredible experience. The event was well-planned at a pet-friendly hotel in downtown Denver. I actually felt relaxed throughout the conference - not something you typically feel at business conferences, as I'm sure many of you know.

Custom Search - a guest post

guest post by Grace Boyle of Lijit

Search is actually a powerful tool for bloggers and publishers, online. There are many tools that can help you understand the value of a visitor's "search" for content on your site, adding to the knowledge of how well you are serving those readers.

Our company, Lijit, is sponsoring BlogPaws West and will be available to answer questions about search and how it works for you, as well as demonstrating how our tool does search. But, today, I thought I'd introduce you to how search works on a blog.

SEO Myths from Stephan Spencer

I'd love to just keep chatting about BlogPaws and our pets and all the fun, and Be the Change, but meanwhile, all around us, life goes on.

One of the things we created BlogPaws for was to help bloggers get better at blogging. And, the truth is we could all use some help. Even those of us who have been blogging for years don't know it all. It's humanly impossible to "know it all."

Blog to Book at BlogPaws™

We were so sorry our own Nadine (who has contributed to this blog regularly and will continue to do so) could not be at  BlogPaws due to a family emergency. Because of that, I was called in to moderate the book publishing panel which consisted of Penny Sansevieri from Author Marketing Experts,  @bookgal and Ret Hot Internet Publicity; Edie Jarolim of Will My  Dog Hate Me? and Am I Boring My Dog? , @willmydoghateme; and Janiss Garza, Sparkle the Cat who wrote the book (with Janiss's help, we think) Dear Sparkle: Advice From One Cat to Another , @sparklecat.

There was far too much information shared for one blog post, but I'll give you my overview and direct you to each panelists' blog or website for their take on the conference and their panel.
