Upcoming "Basics of Blogging" Classes

Want to know what the blogging buzz is all about?  Would you like to get started with building a new website or updating an old site using blogging tools? Do you just want to find great blogs to read? My "Basics of Blogging" class is for you!

During this workshop, I'll cover the following topics:

  • What's a blog?  What blogging is (and isn't) and why it's a GREAT marketing tool for any business
  • The parts of of a blog post and why they're important
  • How to find blogs you'll like to read
  • How to use feeds to make reading blogs and other sites easy
  • How to get started with building your own blog
  • What commenting is, why it's important for getting involved in the blog world, and how to develop a commenting strategy

Everyone will leave with a solid grasp on blogging basics and lots of good handouts.  You can bring your own laptop to the workshop if you like, or you can follow along with the presentation I'll be doing on a projector - you'll learn plenty either way.

Sound interesting?  I have two upcoming "Basics of Blogging" classes:

Tuesday, February 12, 6:00-8:30 PM
