blognite was excellent. It was a full night of presentations, questions, discussions and laughs. I had a great time MCing the whole show, though it was pretty hard to keep presenters to time when there was a lot of interesting content and questions. But we had to start with something, and the one night format meant it was easy for people to come along.

A couple of thoughts for the next one:

* We really needed to have a proper intermission where people got up and moved around, with nothing scheduled, so the presenters get heard, and we all have a chance to have a chat with each other.

* We needed more time for the presenters. Ten minutes plus ten minutes of questions is a very hard thing to prepare for and present. I think the presenters did so well with the time they had.

I guess I can imagine the next one being a full-day conference. Might be harder to get people to come, but there would be some space and time for presentations, tutorial how-to sessions, and informal gatherings.

What a great local blogging community we have. Congrats to the organisers for making it happen, and the presenters for standing up and doing their thing.
