Tags: blog workshop CCTI
My recent blogging presentation at the CCTI Lunch and Learn went so well (I actually had so many questions from the audience I didn’t even get half way through my Power Point presentation), that things are in the works already for a blogging workshop. Right now, it looks like it will be held around the second week of May (yup, that soon!).
I plan to gear this towards small business owners who want to use this medium as a promotional tool. We’ll learn some of the basics like blogging lingo and etiquette, and we’ll move onto learning how to set up a blog using one of the free networks available on the Internet. It will be a crash course in blogging, but students will be able to leave the 4 hour workshop with a blog of their own.
Anyone interested in taking the class (limited to 24 students), contact CCTI for all the info.

Our spring session of the Basic Blogging class for IRCC’s Lifelong Learning Institute is over, and it went really well. I’ve even started a special blog roll section for students’ blogs, so check it out!
Thank you to all the students who attended and to Laura Kelley for all her help with setting it up. We had a great time, and I look forward to teaching it again in fall 2008.

We start blogging in our second class, so here are some helpful links.
First, some A-List bloggers:
Find more at Technorati.
Free blog networks to consider setting up your first blog:
This is an easy to use RSS reader: Bloglines.com
If you don’t want to use your actual picture in your profile, you can use a different picture or an avatar. Make an avatar using Planet M&M or go to Meez.com to make a 3D one.

I’m testing to see if the Amazon.com affiliate links will work in here or not, and since I just bought this book, I thought it would be a good choice for testing it out. It seems like the image code alone with not work.
What about the title only code?
Jane Austen: A Life
Nope, it only like the title text code! Bummer! I guess it’s onto blogger.
