My How to Blog a Conference post generated quite a bit of interest and links. Many people that contacted me or blogged about the post said they would be using the tips in their next conference blogging endeavor.
I'm glad that the post received the response it did, but now I have a favor to ask. If you applied any of the ideas to a recent conference blog, send me some links. I would like to see some applied results.

Just back in Holland from the Conference on Information Technology in Charlotte, NC I found this information. I can tell you it's all true. Blogging with 3 persons is luxury to me, 'cause I did it all alone, but it was fun!
I used Windows live writer as an offline writing tool and because of the integration with Flickr that was very useful. First I uploaded pictures to Flickr and then could find them back in livewriter. Great tool!

Hi Josh,
Your tip about using the Flickr upload tool saved me loads of time when producing this blog for a client's event. Also, Live Writer made things real simple, though we did have to play around quite a bit with the CSS on Wordpress to make it all work as predicted.
We produced with four people. An interviewer, photographer, writer, and 'assembler'. I've come to the conclusion that quality in a 'live' situation means people. Even then, there wasn't enough resource to cover all the multi-tracked sessions. Put simply, don't skimp on resource. Better not to do it half baked than try to put 'something' together. You'll fail on all fronts.
