Dr. Ellen Weber is the author of Know More Media’s Brain Based Business blog. I am happy to be one of her blogging colleagues at Know More Media (I write Marketing Blurb for the network). Dr. Weber not only writes about how to benefit at work by using brain-based insights, but she is also the director of MITA International Brain Based Center in New York. Her credentials are impressive to say the least.

BlogHer.com is a website dedicated to female bloggers.  Not only does the site include a directory of blogs written by women, but it also provides forums, an advertising network and conferences to help women become better bloggers.  Last week, the CEO of BlogHer, Lisa Stone, was interviewed on ABC News where she spoke about the role of women in the blogosphere and online as a whole.  It’s a great interview that I’d like to share with Women On Business readers.  Click on the picture of the video below to be taken directly to the ABC News website to view the video (I couldn’t embed it here).

I’m so impressed with Lisa.  I think she does a great job of communicating the BlogHer story and its attempts at addressing the needs of female bloggers.  Lisa is truly an inspiration for women in business. 

With 3-year old triplets, I don’t get to go to conferences like the ones BlogHer sponsors, although I’d love to.  Have you attended a BlogHer conference?  Why not leave a comment and share your story?
