Announcing the Blog Bling Mixer: Because Every Blog Deserves a Little Bling

The Blog Bling Mixer is being held this Thursday, October 23rd from 6-8pm at Thinkspace in Redmond

Have you ever stared at someone else’s blog, wondering how they managed to get that polls widget in the sidebar, or why their images don’t run over the edge of the page, or what font they picked (because it looks way better than yours)?

If not, chances are you could show people how to do all of these things.

We’re announcing the Blog Bling Mixer, to be hosted at Thinkspace in Redmond on October 23rd 2008 starting at 6:00 and running until 8:00, give or take a bottle of wine.

The idea is to get a bunch of local bloggers together to share their tips and strategies for making online real-estate look snazzy.

Those who know their way around their blogging engines will have a chance to show off their mad skillz, and bloggers who are just getting started can get the instruction they need to bend sidebars to their will.

The mixer is open to bloggers of all technical skill levels.

I’ll be sharing a few tips on blog layout - things like adding Google Ads below your posts or how to build a cool-looking custom style for something in your sidebar. Thinkspace’s very own Peter Chee will be showing off how he set up his super-sweet polling widget.

RSVPs aren’t required for getting in the door, but it would really help us do the legwork right. If you think you’re going to show up, drop us a comment below saying “I’m going,” or “Me too,” or “Phleebledorp” or something to let us know you’re coming.

Alternately, you can RSVP on Facebook or drop your name in the bucket over at Upcoming.
