UPDATED: I got the links for the Closing Keynote, Living the Truman Show, from Katy this afternoon, so I've added them below. It is in 8 segments on YouTube. This post is just one big link-fest, mostly to point you to all the video taken by our official conference videographer, Katy Chen. To fill in the blanks on the Community Keynote I've also included links to some of Gena Haskett and Elaine from Wannabe Hippie's videos. At the end you will find a link to the videos you all submitted yourselves at the CNN iReport table.

I'm back from BlogHer '08 and it was such a jam packed weekend, I'm still processing all the great experiences.  The women were as varied as their blogs, the parties were loud and fun, and the event itself ran, from my point of view, flawlessly.Melissa Silverstein of Women & Hollywood and I had the pleasure of hosting an entertainment bloggers' meet-up and I wanted to use this first post after BlogHer '08 to showcase some of those women and their blogs.  Anyone I don't mention in this post, I will make every effort to mention in upcoming posts.

If you're headed to the BlogHer Conference tomorrow and didn't happen to catch it in your inbox OR if you're not attending but want to know what's goin' on, you are invited to download the BlogHer '08 Conference Brochure.Click on the link or right-click to save the file:http://www.blogher.com/files/BH08-Brochure.pdf

So, jumping on the bandwagon with the community's and Maria Niles's phenomenal guides to surviving BlogHer, I thought I would add one appropriate for the 1) sponsors, 2) networking non-bloggers, or 3) corporate bloggers trying to meet bloggers. All this stuff about introversion and wearing the right shoes seem irrelevant to you?

Updated: As per Miriam's comment below, the event is now full. Thanks for your enthusiastic response!  If you're registered for BlogHer '08 and interested in attending a lunch with Rocco DiSpirito -- where he'll be offering samples of some great new Bertolli products -- sign up now! But please note: seats are extremely limited, so please note the official "rules." Details can be found here, including how to RSVP ASAP!

If you can't make it to BlogHer '08 in San Francisco this year, maybe you can join us in one of our SIX "Reach Out Tour" cities this fall? We'll be condensing our annual event into one-day extravaganzas in Boston, DC, Nashville, Greensboro, Atlanta and New Orleans. And you can register now for any or all of them!

Everything you need to know before you go, now in one handy guide! Thanks to your great questions and feedback (See Advice You Shared), this downloadable guide features: frequently asked questions, tips for how to prepare, what to expect, and advice from former BlogHer attendees.

If you've been holding off on registering for BlogHer '08, now is most definitely the time to act. We've been tracking BlogHer registrations, and today was, for some reason, a tremendously active day. Which means we are planning to shut down new registrations tomorrow, July 2nd at 6PM Pacific time. So, no joke and no scare tactic: The next 24 hours are it for BlogHer registrations. Please join us, and join us quickly!!

The BlogHer Bookstore & Internet Cafe, brought to you by iRobot, will be selling titles from authors within the BlogHer Community. Along with an espresso bar, wifi and charging stations, the bookstore will feature author book-signings -- so be sure to stop by! The schedule is below.

UPDATED: Please note that childcare registration will remain open until all spaces are filled. There's still a few open spaces, so we encourage you to sign up asap! BlogHer is pleased to announce that, following a comprehensive search, we have agreed to partner with KiddieCorp to provide on-site childcare on both Friday and Saturday of the event (July 18 and July 19). KiddieCorp comes highly recommended, and we're confident that they will offer attendees' children a safe and fun experience.

We're wrapping up the first official Pre-Conference Attendee guide (which will be sent to all those who have registered for the conference), full of information about how to prepare and what to expect at BlogHer '08. But we thought -- hey, why not ask YOU what YOU think? What advice do you have for the newbies? What advice do you have for the veterans? What do you wish someone had told you before you showed up for your first BlogHer Conference? And if this is your first time attending, what is it you wish you could know ahead of time?

As of this afternoon, we have closed registration for Sunday's OpenSpace event -- we are at capacity! Thank you to all who have registered for the upcoming BlogHer '08 Conference. Your response has been tremendous and we're looking forward to seeing you all soon.
