We should have had a drinking game based on the number of times @JewelryActivist changed her outfit today! All joking aside Diane Warga-Arias was a dynamo all day! Here she is sharing some of her insights about blogging. Her suggestion is that blogs should be content driven and have a good photography, then your audience will find you. #JCKTalks #jckevents #jcklasvegas #blogging

The element of surprise works great in a #blog. It works even more so when @adornmentality surprises the audience by throwing gifts from the stage! Brava to Barbara Palumbo for entertaining us! #JCKTalks #jckevents #jcklasvegas #jck2015

When Danielle Miele started blogging about jewelry seven years ago she did not even know what JCK was. She just love the jewelry and her boyfriend recommended she start writing about it. Now her #showmeyourring hashtag has become a phenomenon. #JCKTalks #jckevents #jck2015 #jcklasvegas #blogging

Katerina Perez perceive jewelry as art and feels there is not enough information online to explain how the art is put together. This is why she started #blogging. #JCKTalks #jckevents #jck2015 #jcklasvegas
