I am new to reading all of these blogs. Does Wal-Mart sponsor blogher or is it sponsored by a combination of vendors? Also, I find it ironic that Wal-Mart has an Eleven Moms group but seems to be one of the least mom-friendly store I shop.

So many bloggers that have returned from BlogHer have reported on the intensity surrounding people grabbing for swag. It's so sad. Of course it's fun to get free stuff, but seriously people chill out! Great post Lynnae.

Glad you brought back some new ideas and look forward to your implementation of them. So, for us really rural folks, what the heck is a swag anyway? I'm glad your priorities are to focus on the reader. Yours is always a very honest and heartfelt blog and your readers/commentors are always helpful also! Stay focused! And glad you are back!
