It’s Blogfest day and I’m in London after a cosy night on the sleeper. I’m excited about the day ahead – hearing inspiring speakers, meeting old chums and refueling my passion for blogging.
Not, of course, that my blogging fire is dwindling in any way. But I’ve learned that the energy generated by a room full of like-minded e-scribes is phenomenal and if I only take a tiny bit home with me it’ll be worth it.
Which brings me to my original question: What do you call a collection of bloggers?
And, with splendid timing, Vonnie’s NaBloPoMo prompt today is: Which cause is closest to your heart and why?
Ordinarily I’d grapple with the subject asking which of the many things I care about are top of my personal pops. Today, though, I’ll say blogging, by which I mean all the wonderful things it can do. Blogging can heal and unite, it instructs and ignites. Done right, blogging can change the world.

Have a lovely time at BlogFest
I did thanks.
I want to go to a blogging thing!! I tried to go to the Britmum's food conference – not because I blog about food but because I wanted to be around other bloggers and get that fire in my belly that you speak of…then they cancelled it (probably because people who aren't food bloggers were rumoured to be gatecrashing!). Can you recommend any that I can tag along to next time?! Glad you had a good time xx
A collective word? Can we be a tribe? I think I'd rather like that.
The problem for me is that they're often in London and that's an expensive hike, otherwise I'd go to more. My advice would be just to go whatever you can manage. Everyone is very friendly and you'll find lots of people on their own who are happy to 'chum up' and keep you company.
Tribe's good, it might work.
