Perhaps the most important aspect of the May 8th Brooklyn Blogfest at the Brooklyn Lyceum is the Shout-Out. That’s when the bloggers in the room are asked to go up to the stage and do a shout-out for their blog.

It’s a great opportunity to spread the word about your blog.

The Third Annual Brooklyn Blogfest 2008 is an event for bloggers,
blog-readers, those interested in Blogging, and those passionate about
Brooklyn. It is open to one and all and everyone is warmly welcomed. No need to RSVP or be personally invited.

Date and Time: Thursday May 8th, 2008 at 8 p.m.
