Let me know if you have a personal blog or not. Feel free to elaborate in the comments.

I don’t get the chance to get out that often, but when I do, it’s almost always work related. Yesterday was not any different as I attended Wordcamp NY.
Matt Mullenweig, the Keynote speaker spoke to the gathered about what to expect in the upcoming months regarding Wordpress. He also mentions some well known names who are using the blogging platform.
Aaron Brazell of Technosailor, very appropriately summed it all up that its up to the people to determine there experience with the brand.
Jeremy Clarke explained the ins,outs and everything needed in the developer’s toolbox to run and maintain a blog network. One of the things that he emphasized was being clear about the goals from the beginning which can save a ton of time in the long run.
More recap is coming. Its a very busy conference week in the city. In the meantime, follow me on Twitter or del.icio.us.
