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.
Well nice to meet you Craig and thxs for the tips and monetizing idea's, as soon as I make my 1st million I'll buy you a beer :)
Anyway now I know where you are I'll be sure to pop in more often

Hi Vince, was good to chat with you as well last night and I'm glad we tracked down the owner of the nuts and bolts ;-)
All the best, Craig

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
ED
