Thank You Shailesh Ghimire for coordinating Phoenix, Arizona's First Blogging Conference
Although I didn't take any pictures to commemorate the occasion and neither Matt Heaton nor Brian Brady were in attendance, I wanted to say THANK YOU to those fine folks who put together the first of hopefully many Blogging Conferences here in Arizona.
My gratitude goes to:

Hosts Shailesh Ghimire & Aimee Ghimire
Guest Speaker, Jay Thompson - The Phoenix Real Estate Guy and Francine Thompson
Guest Speaker, Greg Swann of Bloodhound Realty
Hosts Greg Heineman of Commerce Title and Tara King of Commerce Title (Thanks for the door prizes,too)
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for putting together today's get-together at The Ranch House. Traveling from Cordes Junction and Rio Verde, Glendale, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler attendees listened attentively as The Phoenix Real Estate Guy himself, Jay Thompson, defined web-logging and the parameters of a successful blog. Through his words and his powerpoint, he gave us practical reasons to blog and how to attract potential clients. Greg Swann was captivating as he shared about his newest venture - Real Estate Weblogging 101. It was very informative and very well planned. Kudos to you all!
I, for one, am looking forward to many more.
P.S. For more information on Real Estate Weblogging 101, check out Brian Brady's blog from earlier today, as well as Shailesh Ghimire's blog announcement.


I would like to add my thanks if that's OK with you Calie. It was quite a surreal experience actually meeting some of the folks that I had been 'talking' to on AR over the past few weeks. Tons of great information was shared. Thanks to everyone involved and Calie...that's a whole lot of link love:)

Thanks for "more" Jay. I've run across a few people who stayed up late last night reading the on-line book Real Estate Weblogging 101. Good job!
Doreen - it was great meeting you, too. Thanks for subscribing to my blog. Now that I know what I'm suppose to be doing - it's going to be a fun ride. Enjoy!
Cali,
