For me, after hearing that so many people used WordPress, I used the time to switch my blog software, so not all was lost!

Events like this are never sold on the panel but on the ability to network and meet. For my four blogs worth, I thought it was a great event for a first try.

As an experienced blogger, I didn't think the event was targeted at me. The discussion was aimed at new bloggers. Because of this, I'd be leery of going to the next event. If you're going to organize an event for bloggers, I think you would want to cater to the bloggers who have been doing it for a while and who are likely to continue to do it. The mavens. The connectors. Alan,

And, yes, Paul Allen is the only reason I knew of the converence. Thank you for saying everything I didn’t. And, yes, Paul Allen is the only reason I knew of the converence.

For organizing and hosting the first bloggers conference in Utah, I think you are being overly critical of the event. Alan Coming from the perspective of a prospective-blogger, I thought

It seemed to be to any Utah Blogger, which is exactly what they got. I thought they wanted to network and create community. Perhaps they should define it to be experienced business, technical, or political bloggers. Obviously there is a segment that just wants to know more about blogging. With a longer conference they can accomodate both. It just depends on what they're going for. Janet They didn’t define the audience.
