You would know if it wasn't right, so if it felt smooth, it was probably ok.
My bike must be pretty darn "tuned" because its clutchless upshift is very smooth, easy, and quite fun!
I won't add to the argument because there is no "right" way. I will say this, however, it's really good to know and be comfortable with clutchless shifting in case your clutch cable ever breaks while you're riding. Otherwise, there is no right or wrong way to shift, clutch or not, but there is a faster, more fun way!
