Hopefully, we'll have more opportunities to do blogger confabs. Couple minor points for the sake of the historical record, though: 1) Dale Franks was responsible for creating .Blog (DotBlog). My input was limited to feature suggestions and layout. Dale is the design guy, and he did a great job with it. Incredibly easy to install, use, etc. He offers the platform <a href="http://www.webmasterdeveloper.com/dotblog.aspx" rel="nofollow">for only 20 bucks</a>. 2) I don't recommend you stop using sitemeter. In fact, I quite like sitemeter. As far as 3rd party tracking tools go, it's quite good. It's imperfect, but good, nonetheless. What I think people should stop using is Blogger/Blogspot. It's a useful place for rookie's to give blogging a whirl, but it's not a permanent platform for serious bloggers. Look forward to reading more of your impressions about the conference. I intend to write something up covering some of the major themes of the panels and speakers, but life has intervened. In due time... It was nice to meet you, Sean, even if only briefly.
