Blogs, music and talk in Manchester

THE gentle tap, tap, tap of lap top keyboards was joined by the music of Europe as BBC Manchester staged another of its blogger meet-ups last night.

Held under the giant canvas walls of the Pavillion near the GMEX centre in Manchester there was a good mix of people from first-timers looking to start a blog, to those keen to take their current sites on a step or two.

Many people were live blogging from the get together, and there are plenty of photographs on Flicker and Technorati is drawing together some of the reports.

I think people are already looking forward to getting together in the future for another chance to write, take photos and post videos of the increasingly popular Manchester bloggers' meet-up.

Craig;

Many thanks for your advice and input last night. You've given me a lot to think about and opened my eyes to the potential of a well written piece of the internet.

I look forward to being able to show you my progress the next time we meet!

Cheers
