Well, I think Dan and I didn't suck, which is awesome. I got my first-ever hug during a presentation for my "create content people will pay for" speech. Trust me when I say following Ed Cone as a keynote speaker is something of a challenge. He was great, eliciting lively conversation from multiple people in the audience on many facets of blogging and new media.
We just finished eating fab bbq and chocolate chip cookies. We are now getting a free live concert. The connections I've made are already worth getting up at 5:30 a.m. (and if you know me at all, you know that's saying a LOT.) It's a great day and it's only lunch time.
Next up: Tee Morris and Kreg Steppe on podcasting. P.S. Tee is my hugger... we're, like, best friends now.
After that: The notorious Heather and Ivy of Home-ec101.com on branding. Heather also serves time as the aggregator extraordinaire at Lowcountry Blogs. Sweet!

Progress so far
OK, I've invited a few people to be authors, more or less for demonstration purposes.
And I've created a Flickr group for CreateSouth, populated with bogus images, for demo purposes.
The next thing I'll need is some way of displaying what's near the top of the Flickr queue as a sidebar widget, but I just haven't found anything that works. Oh well. That's a bell/whistle (a bistle?).
Still looking into possible "cell-direct-to-blog" audio solutions, but they may be too complex. Utterz is good, but not nimble enough to change from your personal site to a breaking news site, on the fly, from the field. BlogTalkRadio has uses, including the RSS feed it generates. Haven't tried Twittergram yet...
Final steps? Well, the big one is to subscribe to this blog via an RSS reader, but also to change the CSNewsNet Twitter account to a device alert, completing the loop from mass input to second-stage filtering to automated output and attention grabber.
