Update 2/14: Congratulations to Condo Blues, the ticket giveaway winner!
I have long lamented the lack of blogging conferences in Columbus, Ohio despite our active techie community. That’s why I was thrilled to discover social media powerhouse Tiffany Odutoye planning Beyond Social 101. Beyond Social 101 is a blogging conference for women, by women, that empowers those just beginning to blog or wanting to take their blog to the next level.
The conference will be held at TechColumbus on Saturday February 26. Bloggers from the Midwest region will speak on a variety of topics from the nitty gritty of choosing and running a platform to the strategies and tools needed to make your blog an active community. The organizers invited me to speak about best practices for the food blogging niche at 2:15 Saturday.
Full conference registration is $149 or $99 for members of SCORE, Tech Columbus, Social Media Club, Am Spirit, or National Association of W.O.M.E.N. Thanks to sponsorship, there are a limited number of FREE registrations to the Friday night Meet & Tweet event. See all the affordable options on the registration page.
As a perk of being a speaker, I am entitled to two conference registrations. I’ll use one and the other? It’s available to one of you!
All you need to do to enter the giveaway is to share your blog URL, email (for notification purposes only, will not be shared) and how you want to improve your blog in the comments. I’ll choose a random winner on Monday, February 14 at 8 pm.
For extra entries, do any or all of the following, leaving an additional comment for each:
- Like Hounds in the Kitchen on Facebook
- Subscribe to the newsletter
- Follow Rachel on Twitter

Good luck! I hope to see many friendly faces at Beyond Social 101!

Sounds awesome!
I would love to be a better blogger. Partly I don’t know what I’m doing tech-wise to make things look super cool and flashy. How do bloggers balance their work-life-blog duties? Sure, I can take a few photos and write some stuff, but how do I make myself interesting to people?

I blog in a collaborative – the Student Affairs Bloggers – and am beginning a new endeavor to blog for a new contractor role I have with a technology in education company. I’m interested in learning more about attracting readers, keeping content fresh and relevant, and, overall creating a sustainable blog. I would love to join you!

My biggest problem is wanting everything to be perfect, so I put off doing anything. Also, for some reason I have a hard time getting the photos from my camera to my blogs. They are often waylaid in Photoshop due to my perfectionism.
I’ve recently started a blog about reducing/reusing/recycling as part of the Master Recycler & Composter program I’m doing through my county. I’ve just gotten started recently, and I’m waiting on official approval from the program director. In the meantime, I’d appreciate your feedback as well – http://trashingmyreputation.blogspot.com/
I already have your blog on my reader. I want gain whatever insite I can. I think there’s always an opportunity for learning and this would be awesome.
I follow you on facebook too.
I’ve been blogging for more than a year but feel like I haven’t hit any kind of stride. Like a previous blogger mentioned, I belabor over my posts b/c I want them to be perfect, so I don’t end up posting very much. I want to take things to a higher level but feel a bit stuck where I am.
I want to learn how to market my blog so other people will read it! I know the basics but would like some in depth knowledge.
I liked Hounds on Facebook.

Forget to say how I want to improve my blog! I want to take better pictures and better develop my “voice.”

This is a great blog post. I have been involved in the wind energy field for just under 10 years and it is crazy how fast the industry is progressing. For the majority of us this is a really thrilling time of history so let’s strive to stay on the pace.

Even though I would still love to learn, I know now that I will not be able to attend. Good luck to all the others who’re hoping to join Rachel.
Even though I’m a blogging “old-timer,” I’d like to learn tips on how to “hook” readers with my writing to keep them coming back for more! There’s still plenty for me to learn!
