Julio- Well, my readers would be enjoying that photo of you and Jessica if I could embed the photo in the post! I switched to a new theme, and now I’m having all kinds of trouble embedding photos and links in to posts, and I can’t figure out why. I spent EIGHT HOURS working on it yesterday and still didn’t figure it out.

Anyway, I had to put in that pronounciation of your name because at BlogHer people kept reading your name tag and saying what they assumed it was, “Who-lee-oh”. It’s a much more common way to pronounce the name, especially for people who live in California and other states with a large Hispanic population. So, I just wanted to make sure they got the name right

Misty- Thank you for sharing your Experience Project Experience! It wasn’t until the day after the cocktail reception with the group that it occurred to me how important the safety factor is with a site like that. You can choose to be anonymous, and write about anything, get things off of your chest that you can never write about on your blog. I imagine that for some people, that kind of safety is crucial.

I’m so glad to hear that you have made such important friends through EP. I haven’t had time to really use the site as much as I would like to, but I hope to get to know others using the site as well.

Thank you again for sharing your experience!

Armen-I’m happy to spread the word both about the site itself and the terrific people behind it! I’ll continue to spread the word when I get a chance! Just think where the website and it’s community could be a year from now. Thank you again for inviting me to your BlogHer event, it was truly a pleasure to meet you and your group

Hey Elizabeth!

Thanks for the nice post about our site! It really means a lot to us that you liked the site and are letting others know about it. And now everyone gets to enjoy the picture of Jess and I sweaty in the Chicago heat!

i’m an EP’r and i have to share with you and your readers how this site has touched me.

i ran upon it accidentally. i opened it anyhow. the further i dug into the site the more i began to realize this was a place for those with something to say about the experiences they’ve been through – perhaps things you are unable to share with those around you or those on your blog, just as your review says. after all who doesn’t want to rid themselves of those skeletons clinking around in the closet?

after a couple short months of revealing myself, my true self, i ran upon a couple people whom of which i can honestly say will be friends for life. there was a connection that i’ve not found on any other cyber community nor in real life. it’s amamzing.

i can’t say enough about the EP staff and how wonderful they are, how active they are, how quick they are to respond, how helpful, etc.

not only are the people of EP fantastic as well as the staffers, i’m safe!!! SAFE!

since finding EP i’ve virtually discontinued all activity at other communities simply because i wish to be at EP.

FIVE STARS for the review and EP!
