I attended my first iBlog last year and it’s easily the biggest blogger education event in the entire blogging calendar. Honestly speaking, it can be quite a mixed bag, but for a relatively new blogger, thepresentations are very enlightening and interesting. The annual iBlog summit is also one of the few times where bloggers could actually lock horns and have their time discussing controversial topics swirling in the blogging community.
I will be one of the speakers for this years iBlog and my topic will delve on the do’s and don’ts of blogging. I will be sharing the segment with Juned Sonido.
The 5th Philippine Blogging Summit will be on 09 May 2009 at the Malcolm Theater, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, from 8 am to 5 pm. Admission is free but seats are limited so make sure to register for iBlog5.

Hello Benj. This is cool. I'll share this to my friend who's joining the event. Thanks for the information!
Benj,
I was there at ibog5. If you go to Jehzlao's blog, I'm seated at the area with two cartoons were asked where the CR was. So, it was a bit noisy in my place. However, the noise didn't muffle the sound of your presentation, which sounded like an argument in a debate.
Frankly, the matter-of-fact way of presenting didn't put me to sleep. Thank goodness.
Anyway, just wanted to make my presence known. Drop by my site if you are into poetry and some creative writing.
