Keep up the good work. I'd like to stay in touch and maybe even reach out with a blogging question from time to time! By the way, also belatedly, I've come to an affection in life for plants, flowers and trees, and am trying to learn more about them! Thanks, Ron Belated thanks for your shout-out, which is much appreciated.

For some reason Akismet thought you were a spammer... doh! At any rate, as someone new to this scene at the time, I can say that last year's Blogfest definitely felt like Atlantic Yards was the primary topic. While it is now obvious that Gowanus Lounge, for example, is covering development atrocities all over Brooklyn, last year I didn't know this. And I distinctly remember that the mere thought of bloggers in Flatbush seemed to elicit snickers from many... despite the fact that there were three of us there (and now there about 10 Flatbush blogs)! So, yes, from my point of view everything about this year's Blogfest was more diverse, and that is a good thing. Hey Norman, sorry it took so long to post your comment.

Eric, I watched the Gardenfork piece about perennials and am hooked. I love podcasts, so this will make for great subway listening! Olivia, I'm much perkier after TWO of those peanut butter chocolate crispy vegan dessert thingies. Red Mango Bakery rocks! Can't wait for the vegan blogade! Hey guys!

Last year, two of the six speakers were from blogs devoted to Atlantic Yards. There were dozens more blogs represented at the event, and the writers of those blogs represented themselves at the "shout-out." Clinton Hill was dubbed the "bloggiest" neighborhood in the country by Outside.in because--as they ultimately acknowledged--of Atlantic Yards. Still true, I'd bet, despite the impressive growth of the Brooklyn blogosphere. http://atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2008/03/yes-atlantic-yards-is-source-of.htmlplace, Many?
