Read the latest from Emily's “Today in the Bloggernacle” feature.

Listening to general conference in the Bloggernacle is like listening to general conference in the Tabernacle in that you enjoy it with members from all over the world and take notes. But unlike in the Tabernacle (or Conference Center now) you don't have to sit quietly, but can discuss what you are learning, cross-link to interesting posts, speculate about the temple announcements and more, all in practically real-time.
 
For my favorite example of this real-time note-taking, please check out Messenger and Advocate and click into the sessions. Guy Murray provides an extensive summary of the proceedings and includes magnificent photos. He does this each conference and never fails to impress. It's my preferred summary to check until the conference-talk texts are posted later in the week.
 
Then there are the open threads, where bloggers come together to converse conference-style in real-time. Here are a few examples:

• Mormon Mentality
• Our Thoughts
• Mormon Matters
• Temple Study
  

And the blogs are still processing general conference and likely will continue to do so. Here are a few highlights from the Bloggernacle:

• "'Criticisms Create Interest' in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" studies Elder Hales' message on how to speak out with kindness.
• "Highlights from General Conference, October 2008" is a list of what stood out to this blogger. Do these notes coincide with yours?
• Conference is always sprinkled with memorable stories, and this blogger asks "Which Was Your Favorite Anecdote in General Conference?"
• And if you're into top-10 lists, then check out this blogger's "October 2008 LDS General Conference Top 10 List."

And now for some other general discussion in the Bloggernacle:
 
Power pick: After a weekend full of counsel and commandments, this post looks with insight at making decisions regarding "Conflicting Commandments." Citing the conflicting commandments of "Thou shalt not kill, but Nephi has to kill Laban" the author explains, "Luckily, I am not confronted with murdering another, as many of those in the military are. However, in my life the conflicting commandments are just as real and difficult to reconcile." Read her fascinating perceptions including her conclusion that "For all of the soul searching, and heartache that usually accompanies conflicting commandments, I am grateful that they are there. That somehow the Lord realizes that we as his children can make these decisions." Wow!
 
Forgotten gem: Take a look back in time to March 29, 2007, and then go even further back to the 1980s and 1990s as Ronan describes how he used to watch general conference from England in "GC and Me". They had to wait to wait for videotapes weeks after the actual conference. Reading his story made me grateful for the technology that in my lifetime has completely changed our general conference experience.
 
Techie tip: Isn't it amazing how fast the "General Conference Materials Online" are available? I remember just a few years ago seemingly waiting and waiting to re-listen to or read the talks. But now you can re-watch the conference video almost as soon as it plays and even download the audio on the same day. The text of the talks still takes a few days, but they should be up Thursday, if not before. Click on the link above to again enjoy and learn from this last General Conference.
