**Note: a few minutes of the panel got lost because the camera fell off the table. ;) So don't be jarred about 16 and a half minutes in when it all of a sudden jumps ahead. ** Here is the video of the panel I was on at the BlogHer 2009 Conference in Chicago on July 24, 2009. Description from blogher.com: --- Identity/Passions: LifeBlogging Outside the Lines: When you’re not a Geek, a Political Wonk or a MommyBloggerBlogging started as a geek’s game, and by 2004 political bloggers were making waves and mainstream media news. Post-BlogHer 2005 the rise of the MommyBloggers, first as cultural, then as commercial, force began. So where does that leave the rest of us…blogging about who we are and what we do with as much dedication, passion and amazing writing as any of those other blogging archetypes? We know that many of you who don’t fit neatly into the above boxes share the same concerns:How can I dispel stereotypes about people like me?How can I build community without something like an ideology or a kid of a particular age to serve as the common thread?How can I get a piece of the monetization pie…I have income and spend money too, you know?Maria Niles moderates this conversation featuring Natalie McNeal, who blogs about living the high life on a budget, Trish Bendix, who explores lesbian and bi-sexual issues at AfterEllen.com, Jane Gassner, founder of midlifebloggers.com, and Amber Rhea, a feminism and sex blogger, as we delve together into myriad LifeBlogging issues. --- The official liveblog is here: http://www.blogher.com/groups-forums/blogher-09-live-blogging/official-liveblog-identity-passions-life-blogging-outside-lin
