Very similar to “if you only had one more day to live, what would you do with it?”
So kids, what would it be? If you knew that you only had one day to live, would you even bother posting one last entry onto your blog? When we refer to “blog” I’d assume this would be your personal blog. Your flagship blog. The one with the most sentimental value.
I learned something new yesterday, having had time to drop by the Inquirer.net office for a quick meeting. To reference Inquirer.net‘s EIC, he always wanted a quotable quote about how bloggers can learn something from media folk. I don’t remember the exact wording but it goes something like:
Bloggers can learn a lot from news media. What readers want is a predictable pattern when it comes to new content. Therefore, blogging should not be diarrhea or constipation. It should not be too much or too little. As long as there is a pattern, you will get more readers.
And this is true. A lot of bloggers can get bitten by the “blogging bug” and churn out a non-characteristic number of posts which goes against his or her posting routine. A blogger who does five or six posts a week may, all of a sudden churn out ten because “a lot more had happened” that was worth writing about.
The best way to temper this phenomenon wold be to schedule posts at least one hour apart so that Google has an easier time indexing your posts. I also figure that two posts per day for personal blogs can be the maximum you should do as you also need to get a life. 🙂
We walked and walked and walked and walked. tirelessly we trudged along what was the distance from Ayala Avenue to Guadalupe taking photos and dancing to the rhythm of each group of presentors.
This was the first time I’ve ever done guerilla shooting. Pretending we were media and crossing the roads, trying to catch those short and priceless moments of the dancers, and sweating under the heat of the 3PM sun.

Well not really. Considering it was a blogger party so obviously there was just too much booze, sex and several acts of frivolities going round.
Just kidding. The nature of a party for bloggers means that everyone blogs about it after, so no secrets here, really!
You can view the pictures I took here. It was also my first dry run of the Speedlite 580EX I recently bought. Again, check out my gallery for the pics.
A lot of people asked about why the need for all the technorai tagging and other hassles to become part of this event. Well the short and sincere answer is that – this was to satisfy two things: (1) this event was obviously an “experiment” being the fitst party we organized. As a sponsor and member of the organizing committee I can tell you that we have had no prior experience in events organizing.
Over at the blog parteeh, b5media CEO Jeremy Wright says hello. b5media is one of the bigger sponsors for the event having shelled out an equivalent of P12,500.00 for goodies.
