About BlogHer:

BlogHer’s mission is to create an opportunity for all kinds of women bloggers to pursue exposure, education, and community. The organization was formed in early 2005 by Lisa Stone, Elisa Camahort and Jory Des Jardins to answer the question, “Where are the women bloggers?” The group’s first effort, a sold-out inaugural conference in July 2005, has given rise to a grassroots organization, the BlogHer Network.
