November 17, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- BlogWorld & New Media Expo (blogworldexpo.com), the first-ever blogging conference and trade show, is scheduled to take place next year at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The event, slated for November 8 to 9, 2007, will combine aspects of the corporate communications world with the needs of individual bloggers.
The show's producer, Libby Durfee, says the event will offer an avenue for businesses to network with established corporate and mainstream bloggers, video bloggers, podcasters, Internet radio broadcasters and other new media outlets seeking the latest technologies. She says the event is the only tradeshow, exhibition and conference designed to promote the blogging industry.
"This will be the first opportunity for many of the companies in the field to enjoy a face-to-face relationship with the end-users who ultimately can play a significant role in a brand?s acceptance in the blogging community," says Durfee.
The event will encompass a full seminar program, featuring experts in each field addressing specific blogging needs, including boosting readership, monetizing a blog, and blogging influence in politics. Taking up 40 thousand square feet of space at the Las Vegas venue, the event will also host the Weblog Awards, recognizing the best blogs of the year from several categories.
Durfee says while BlogWorld is open to all active bloggers, it will target several key sectors, including business, technology, politics, sports, lifestyle and culture, general news and military personnel. Exhibitors will include Web hosting companies, blog publishing software, design companies, wireless services, hardware and software brands, RSS syndication services, podcast services, online advertising networks and other products directly affiliated with the blogging phenomenon.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
