Cool, it’s out so I’ll out it again…

Sounds great but “first blogging conference to be held in the southern hemisphere” might be dismissing Perth’s BlogNite a bit too quickly!
After this, I wonder whether Brazilians are in the southern hemisphere together with Australia and NZ… or you are referring just to English Speaking Countries. For a moment I had the impression we had suddenly become a Northern country… lol…all is just a matter of perspective and how you divide the world.
I just jumped in and quoted ;o) Maybe the first ‘large scale’? And yeh, I see a lot of ‘….-est in the Southern Hemisphere’ signs around here and wonder to myself exactly where the writers figured the SH extended to!
