I went to the June 2006 Utah Bloggers Conference at the Miller Innovation Center and it was great.  Ryan Money and Phil Burns created the event, and I counted over 100 or so people who attended.  Besides the free Pizza, drinks and t-shirt which I always love, the panel talked about some great things, I networked with a lot of people, and I can’t wait until the next event.  Very good format.  Here are some of my take-aways:

1. Everyone on the panel either uses WordPress or Movable Type as blogger platforms
2. Phil Windley -  “If you want to be visited, don’t write articles that are balanced”, contriversial articles are the one’s that get readership and comments
3. Phil Windley – Blog to create a personal brand

It is easy to start up a blog and I would be happy to show anyone how to set one up either by phone conversations or email at michaeleagar{at}gmail[dot]com.  If you blog or want to blog or want to understand what a blog is, come to the next Utah Bloggers Conference.
