Bloggers' Night Out!

August 13, 2010

Last week, my company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, hosted a really fun event, called Bloggers’ Night Out! In recent years, blogging has become such an important and interesting form of communication. We, at MSLO, maintain thirteen separate blogs, but there are so many other blogs that we love reading. We decided to extend an invitation to the creators of those blogs so that we could all mingle and get to know one another. We were hoping for a rooftop party overlooking the majestic Hudson River. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate and the gathering was moved into one of our photo studios at the Starrett Lehigh building. It was a great time, none-the-less.

And don't forget to visit our newest blogs!
