Here are a few tips:<br /><br />1) Go to food blogging conferences like IFBC, BlogHer Food, Foodbuzz or Camp Blogaway. Some people shy away from talking with the PR people. I'm all over them. They are most often the door into opportunities like this, as well as bigger and better ones. Talk to them about who you are, what you writeErika Kerekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634307142866395851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957782103763272580.post-80286468218947170312012-03-08T04:32:06.374-08:002012-03-08T04:32:06.374-08:00Great information and I love this appetizer too.Great information and I love this appetizer too.Jersey Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524724543931999315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957782103763272580.post-5426759827915903442012-03-07T21:45:24.127-08:002012-03-07T21:45:24.127-08:00Erika,
