At the Yahoo! Campus, it was a full day of learning. Everything from discussing Online Safety for kids and families, to learning how to use Flickr effectively, and how to blog in the Shine platform by Shine's Managing Editor and good friend Annette Cardwell. I specially enjoyed the Yahoo! Editorial portion where the authors ( Chris Barr & Julie Wildhaber @YahooStyleGuide) of The Yahoo Style Guide: The Ultimate Sourcebook for Writing, Editing, and Creating Content for the Digital World were there to give us some very interesting pointers. We all received a copy of the book and the inner geek in me was jumping with delight!
After a full day of learning, we continued the fun at Nola's. Lots of mojitos and food were had! Thank you Jeanne Moeschler, Stacy Libby, Amy Heinz and the rest of summit organizers. It was incredible!
Check out all the sweet photos I took below.

MJ, you rock! Yahoo! was lucky to have you for a few days. Thanks for all of your great feedback and for all of your support. I love the embedded Flickr slideshow!
After reading this blog, I'm even more bummed to have missed out on the fun. Congrats to all Yahoo! Motherboarders!!!
MJ, Seriously, this is an awesome re-cap, and I love, love, love your slideshow!
Your photos are incredible.I'll definitely be back often to 'relive' the excellent, way-too-short YMB Summit!
So happy we connected (finally!) in real life, my friend!
amy
We were so happy to have you join us! Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you had a great celebration when you got home.
MJ—so glad we had time to sit down and chat at Nola's. Thanks for putting the weekend down into such succinct words.
Great post! The photos are beautiful and are bringing back such great memories... Ahhhh...
Hi MJ! Reading your blog made me realize my name was ommitted from the attendee list that was distributed. I was on the electronic one, but somehow it was removed from the printed copy. It's ok, since my blogging and photography partner, Kristina Rust, has the same info (@parentgrapevine, parentgrapevine.blogspot.com and gotogals.blogspot.com). It was a great pleasure talking to you about our blog and photography company. Look forward to seeing you in the future at another blogging event!
Tina Case
That sounds like a wonderful trip. It's so cool to be on the inside looking out. The flowers are gorgeous.
MJ, in your opinion, what makes for a memorable and meaningful social media event like this Yahoo! event?
