The First Philippine Blogcon

AJ Jorge September 26th, 2006

Truth be told, I would have not attended the blogcon if it weren’t for the chance to meet up the Peyups folks from way back. Karl and Mimi were there, Markku had a grand entrance for arriving late and I finally met Kiven the overlord of the infamous Sex and Intimacy thread in Peyups’ messageboards.

The event was a successful one. With Globe Innove backing up the event, we had free foods and drinks. There were about 50 or so bloggers that came. I didn’t bother to meet everyone as I’m pretty sure I will not remember them again anyway. I just huddled up with the people in my table and swap interesting stories (much of which was how to make money out of all this blogging brouhaha).

The people that made this event possible were very generous on how to make a successful blog. They shared their paths to success and slowly I am integrating them in the site. The most helpful one was from the SEO (search engine optimization) god himself Marc Macalua who taught how to optimize blogs using Wordpress engine (sorry na lang sa ibang engines. hehe).

All in all it was a great experience. Looking forward to the next Conference.

Oh, I even won a 256mb flashdisk from the raffle we had. :D

    […] I could write a lot of things about the blogcon last Monday but I’d just be echoing what everyone has to say about it. So I’ll just mention that AJ noted that I (along with Anne) had a grand entrance for being fashionably late, though I didn’t notice. I was so hungry I even forgot to register! […]
