Just a quick post to say - 
Alt was A-mazing.  I was so inspired by the keynote speakers (like 
Pilar Guzman and 
Deborah Needleman(!!!) and Ben from 
Pinterest), but I especially loved seeing new and old friends. Gabrielle from 
Design Mom, one of the geniuses behind Alt, is my hero. I don't know how she manages to make that conference better and better every year! It probably has something to do with her unending talent and generosity. Love that woman and love that conference!
(PS  Here are my notes from last year's panel on Growing a Blogging Community. I'll see if I can put together some thoughts from this year's talk on blogging and owning a design business)
