I got some really great business cards at the conference.
(Click on the card to get to the person’s site.)
Ticket stub? Very clever.
A friendly reminder on the back of Jen Zug’s card.
Not waving but drowning. In kids! I like the sinking Titanic angle of the url. Well done, Jess.
Boobs! That’s all Jen thinks about, trust me.
A woman whose card looks like this fears nothing.
But, boy, some of these no-name bloggers really put a lot of work into making an impression.
Comes with a button! So wishing I’d thought of that.
Now you know: Vegemite comes in sample packs. Only an Australian with a macro lens could back that up. (Her name and particulars are stamped on the back of the card, in case you were wondering.)
The only thing better than a clever business card is wrapping it around a piece of chocolate. On the back it says, “It’s hard to bitch with your mouth full.”
“Our blogger who art in heaven”? Come on, that’s pretty good. I have no idea who this person is, I just found these cards scattered about the hallway on the third floor of building 8.
EDITIED TO ADD: I KNOW Heather’s address is on her card, it’s her P.O. box, which she publishes on her site, it’s not her home address. I didn’t post any card that had a home or work address or phone number on it.
Thanks! I really love my card, my fabulous husband made it for me.
There were so many awesome cards, my favourite was gwendomomma’s written on squares of toilet paper.
That last card is from (http://www.emailsfromjesus.com/) which is a completely awesome site where you can write in and ask Jesus or Stan (as he prefers to be called) questions.
If I had known Jesus was gonna be at Blogher, I might have tried harder to go, except of COURSE he was at Blogher. He’s everywhere! Heh. Sorry.
Okay: How did I not see ANY of these cards? (Except the chocolate? And lo, that was very, very good.) I am really amazed that I exchanged so many cards and yet I never met any of these fabulous women.

total random comment- you should take Dooce’s card down or edit her address out of it.
some scary folks out there…
love your site.
It’s her P.O.box, she publishes it on her site, but good looking out.
I wish I was handed busines cards wrapped around chocolate at work… they probably wouldn’t go straight into the trash can! Well, not until I’d eaten the chocolate.
Truly one of the best posts ever. I read well over 100 blogs a day, and I stopped dead in my tracks to read every single business card.
What does that say?
this makes me want to make a card even though I’m so not famous
i love boobs. is that so wrong?
p.s. can i copy this post?
this makes me want to splurge and finally get my logo in full color on my cards. that’s crazy expensive though so i keep putting it off but if i were going to something like blogher i think it might actually be worth it.
I found one of those Jesus cards too and LURVED it. Thanks for the reminder – I need to check that site out. And Jen Zug’s? Brilliant, and not in that way everyone overuses the term.
um, does mrs. armstrong like having her address made available over the net? just checking.
Great Blog.
These cards are as original as the women behind them. Thanks for sharing them!
Holy cow… I’m supposed to have a business card? Can I just tear a little bit of paper off the back page of my checkbook and write my web addy on that? Will that work? That’s kind of more my style. LOL
These are so cool!
what a fabulous idea. i got some great cards as well. next time, i’ll have site cards, not just my freelance cards. oh well, half the women there have my cell phone number, but they’ve been very polite: no drunk dials yet! Heh.
Eden, it was nice to meet you Thursday night and chat for a bit. You did a terrific job in your panel (along with the other ladies). I needed to be encouraged to use it as my canvas (for writing and photography). Also, great cards!

Where is your card Mrs. K?
I just know you would have put up my card. If I had remembered to give you one. Nah. It wasn’t so good. At least my address isn’t on there.
Next time I’ll print them off on coffee-flavoured paper!
With coffee beans stapled to them!
And pictures of my little latte looking children!
I will rethink this and get back to you.
Shoot! I wish you had put up that ‘edited to add’ sooner. Here I am with my sleeping bag and autograph book at 1338 South Foothill Dr #230 looking like a big fool! I’ll go tell the others the gigs up…
My card is here.
Awesome! I have yet to do my linky love from BlogHer, and I have a stack of cards and inch thick.
Alas, I didn’t get a Mrs. K. Next time. Next time.
Those were some really good cards!
Dang, these are funny. But I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw the vegemite. That stuff just isn’t right.
Here’s a shout-out to Karli from Mom on a Wire for designing the Daring Young Mom card. She rocks.
That Aussie with Vegemite tried to pawn the stuff on my friends after she left the West Coast! The Department came to visit me for a few days. In return for the Vegemite, we made her go to a Chuckwagon supper!
I love the poetry reference… “not waving but drowning.” Very clever. I used to like that poem a lot when I was depressed and angry at my mother.
Apologies for the Vegemite – next time I’ll give you Jaffas!
