Thanks to everyone who came to today's Pittsburgh BlogIN. I had a swell time, and now I've got a page of cool things to follow up on -- gadgets to get, tricks to try, and plans to make for the next event.

For more reactions, photos, and other evidence, check out the prompt posts from Mark Stroup and Sri Bala. I think Mark and Venky Krishnamoorthy were the only people to create actual posts at the event, so special kudos to them.

The list of tasks I'd hoped to accomplish at the event was long and obviously impossible to complete. But I did manage to start updating the look of this site. I had liked the design I threw together for my MySpace page, so I'm expanding on it here. The typography and text layout need work -- more flair and more cohesion, maybe some sort of theme to pull it together -- but at last I've been able to use this image of a rusting, peeling surface that I found years back. (FYI: The pic is a stock photo from Microsoft's clip art library, one of several photos I considered for the Junction Dance Theatre website.)

ALSO: Very special thanks (in the case of Anne, make that Very Special Thanks) to those who spread the word about the BlogIN even though they couldn't attend. i hope you'll be able to make it to a future event.

UPDATE: More feedback from the event... in the comments to this post Liz points out that she accomplished some blogs to-dos at the BlogIN and after, and we discuss ideas for future such events. Plus over at Inner Bitch, Christina describes the thrill of meeting a celebrity sketchbook.
