Let's not forget those who are affected by the Oklahoma devastation recently. BlogPaws has been working with our Pet360 family and World Vets and AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) since we arrived back from the conference. We were heart broken to see all the images of the devastation that Oklahoma is dealing with and we all knew we had to help. Continue reading....

What Every Newbie Needs to Know About BlogPaws

Nervous about attending BlogPaws? Not sure what to bring, what to expect, what to wear, and any other number of newbie questions you might have?

If you've been to the BlogPaws Community group, BlogPaws 2013 Newbies, then you know Caren Gittleman: She makes newbies feel welcome, educated, informed, and ready to tackle BlogPaws. For the past three years, Caren has been the driving force of this group. BlogPaws Veterans are welcome to join this group as well to share their experiences with our conference Newbies. So, we're turning the tables on Caren and asking her to dish about her blogging life and more, just in time for BlogPaws. Okay Caren, the spotlight's on you:

50 Things To Write About At BlogPaws

by: Carol Bryant, PR and Marketing Manager, BlogPaws

You have the ticket booked, the reservations are made, and you are about to attend one of the most powerful social media conferences in the nation for pet bloggers, writers, brands, microbloggers, and more. You want to be able to bring something back to your readers, but not sure what, where to start, and what would be interesting to your readers. As any good blogger/reporter knows, preparation is key (even if you aren't attending, these are handy writing prompts).

"What can I write about when I come to BlogPaws?" might be running through your mind right about now. As a repeat attender (someone who has been to every single BlogPaws conference, with her dog by her side), I can attest to the sheer abundance of material you will have when the conference draws to a close.

The fifth annual BlogPaws conference is taking place May 16 - May 18, 2013 in Tysons Corner, Virginia. About 500 pet bloggers, brands, journalists, writers, industry experts, (and many of them bringing their pets) will be present, many for a week or more. While you are listening to seminars, learning, talking to brands, and networking, keep a tablet handy and jot down ideas for blog posts.

This list is printable, so if you are like me and think “I have to remember to write this once I get home,” but then can’t recall that “a-ha” moment, here are 50 ideas for blog posts:

#heypets Are You Ready for BlogPaws? Wordless Wednesday

This little furry friend submitted by one of BlogPaws own resident photographers Allen Pearson and wants to know if you are all ready for the conference yet!

Whether you will be able to make it to the conference or not this year come and hang out with us in the BlogPaws Community tonight from 7 - 9 pm Eastern. Just look for the main chat room at the bottom of your screen. We will all be in there hanging out and having fun!

With so much to do before the conference is here make sure you haven't forgotten to register for your conference passes (there are special events taking place during BlogPaws that we use the registration list for. So make sure you are registered!), book your hotel room, and make your plane reservations or get your car checked out before you hit the road!
