Alt Design Summit hosts a big blogger conference each year in January but I haven’t been able to attend in years past. I am looking forward to attending next years conference in January 2013.

Well if you are like me and haven’t attended the conference but wanted to, you can virtually! Now they offer online classes through their website at a very affordable prize point of $15 on similar topics covered at the conference. What a steal! They usually announce the schedule a month in advance so that you can plan to attend ahead of time. They are offered at all different times of the day.

For the past few months, I have been taking several online classes through Alt Design Summit to learn how to be a better blogger and businesswoman.  So far I have taken classes on How to Grow my Readership, Advertising for Bloggers, and 10 Photo Workouts to Make You a Better Photographer. They  have all been very informative and also served as a great networking opportunity to meet other bloggers.  Alt offers classes on design, photography, general blogging, and marriage advice classes.

For the month of July, Alt Design Summit has partnered with Bing to host two free classes. So this is the perfect time to try out their classes before you pay for one on your own. Bing will be talking about these two topics: What Brands Really Think About Your Blog and The ABCs of SEO:  How Bing can help make your blog a success.

To learn more about these classes and other ALT Design Summit online classes, visit the ALT Channel.

Have you taken any Alt Classes? What did you think about them?

Last year around this time of year, I met my friend Tiffany at Lavish! in Atlanta. We were both new to the  blogging world at the time and shared the same interest in fashion. So we immediately hit it off! With a background in fashion and an eye for unique finds,Tiffany recently decided to launch Delightfully Chic, an online shop of custom designed luxury prints and fabulous home accessories. Her site goes live today, so head over to Delightfully Chic to find some amazing accessories for your home. Also make to sure to become a fan of her Facebook page to keep up to date on new additions to the shop.

Lately you may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging as much as usual. I must say I am burnt out and in need of a serious vacation.  I don’t want to give you all crappy uninspired blog posts to read. However, I do have a few exciting posts in the works for August ( a possible giveaway and a video tutorials). I am grateful for all of my readers who have stuck by me in my blogging funk and I am excited to see the new visitors.

Everyday I receive an e-mail from Jetsetter.com about glamourous places to visit around the world. For an invite to Jetsetter from me click here. This week they have a sale for Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa in Maldives. Maldives is a small island located in the indian ocean. I have always wanted to take a trip to Maldives and I was tempted this week to charge it on my credit but I refrained. I recently made a bucket with a few friends of mine and this is on my places to visit before I die list.

Take a look at pictures below of this amazing resort and destination.
