BlogIndiana Final Round-up
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Just walked in the door from the long car trip back to Valparaiso. It went by quickly. Had lots of great conversation with Nichole. Had an awesome time with my peeps from Livemercial.
The panel at BlogIndiana after lunch was pretty cool. They talked about building communities around blogs, which is something that really interested me. I was also finally able to meet Steve Dalton! Nice to meet ya Steve! Keep in touch!
After that was a session on how to plan out your blog to generate traffic. Basically it was all about content, content, content! Lots of good stuff in that presentation and I learned a lot of stuff that I will be applying to my work stuff and my personal projects. The guys was from Hanapin Marketing were great.
After that I went to the session on building a corporate blog with David Doug Karr. It was really good with some really good questions and responses on some of the issues we face with corporate blogging. Very awesome stuff.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the conference. It was finally nice to see something that I spend a lot of time doing, being validated by so many people who do the same thing. It was also fun meeting fellow bloggers and meeting people who run tech start-ups in Indiana. There is some really cool stuff going on in the Web Industry in Indiana!
I think, quality wise, the second day was better than the first, but that’s just my opinion.
IUPUI has an awesome campus and I fell in love with the IUPUI Campus Center building. I love gorgeous modern architecture like it. That’s why I took so many damn pictures.
Indy was great. Hadn’t been there in a few years. Definitely would like to do a weekend away there with the wife soon. Looks like there is plenty to do and lots of fun to be had.
I hope they decide to have BlogIndiana next year. It was fantastic fun and I definitely will go again!

It was great to meet you too. I actually took a sunday nap upon return and am awaking just now to a magnificent porter county sunset.
A block party two hours ago was all I could handle
I really hadn’t put two and two together that you guys were involved with Livemercial. I am good friends with the owners of Golden Technologies and they talk very highly of Livemercial.
Here’s to NW Indiana having a decent representation!
Thanks for the review - I’m glad that you enjoyed the session!
David…er Doug.
Thanks for your support of BlogIndiana 2008. With your continued support of the local blogging movement, we’ll definitely plan for BlogIndiana 2009 as well.
Sorry about that Doug…. Wrote the entry real quick with everyone’s names still buzzing in my head.
