I was also amazed at the quality and entrepreneurship of everyone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.problogger.net\/archives\/2011\/10\/25\/melbourne-problogger-event-recap-linkup-and-looking-forward-pbevent\/\" target=\"_blank\">You can see what happened at the ProBlogger Training Day here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>OldTimer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"igit_tsb_button\" style=\"float: right; margin-right: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Foldtimeblogger.com%2Fwp%2F2011%2F11%2F16%2Fblogging-gender-surprise%2F&amp;text=Blogging+Gender+Surprise&amp;count=horizontal&amp;via=\" style=\"\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; ProBlogger Training Day. &nbsp; I recently attended a Blog Training Day in Melbourne Australia, Twitter hash tag #PBEVENT.
