First annual Cincinnati Bloggers Convention a success

The first annual Cincinnati Bloggers Convention was held last Thursday at the Mercantile Library Downtown.

Nearly 40 local bloggers pre-registered for the event, and at least that many showed up.

With no pre-set agenda, the convention was largely a social event with beer, wine, and an array of snacks for noshing.

It was a great to finally put some faces with some names, but, unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for me to meet everyone!

Special thanks go to the Mercantile's executive director Albert Pyle and to Chris Messick for putting together such a great event.

Not only does the library have a great collection, but it's a fantastic atmosphere for these kinds of get-togethers!

I don't know if I learned anything, but it certainly was fun....

(At the convention, Morris Tsai suggested that I find a better way of displaying photos. I couldn't agree more. He uses PictoBrowser, but that only works for Flickr photos. If anyone knows of a good slideshow-type program that won't put Hello Kitty, Barbie, or glitter on my photos, please shoot me an e-mail!)
