I’ve been home a few hours after WordCamp 2008. It was a wonderful time of listening to other bloggers speak about their experiences and share tips with the rest of us. They spoke on almost everything from building an audience to search optimization.

To be perfectly honest, I had no idea what to expect before going. I have really never been to a conference like this and was a little scared to be honest. Mainly because I wasn’t sure what would be expected of me. Had I been given the choice to do this weekend all over again, I would have definitely still gone.

I learned a few very important things that I think apply to all aspects of business that I am interested in:

  1. Network Network Network!
  2. Nothing bad comes from just stepping out and trying.

The conference was an excellent chance for me to really step out of my comfort zone and meet a lot of new people. The people I talked with were all over the board as far as experience goes. Some people were newer to blogging than me, while others were making a full time job off of blogging. Among those people was Matt Mullenweg whom I didn’t really know what to say to, but I made sure to say hi, shake his hand, and thank him for coming out for the conference.

Overall, I was very inspired and definitely hoping they have the conference next year.

I am also posting a few photos I took at the conference to use the new gallery feature. I’m not sure what it will do to with the current theme I have, but here goes:
