Want to start blogging? Check out our School of SocialFish. Lindy and I will be running intensive, very small workshops (limited to 8 people) on Personal or Professional Blogging 101. The first two scheduled workshops are in December; we are also able to run one for a group at your location as long as you have 4-8 interested people and a wi-fi-enabled meeting room.
Intro to Personal Blogging

* Blog set-up basics, from configuring a free blogging platform to optimizing RSS feeds and social bookmarking tools
* Secrets behind great blog writing
* Getting comments and building community
* Personal branding through your blog
Intro to Association Blogging
* Secrets behind great blog writing
* Different types of posts that can add spice to association blogs
* Technology tricks, from optimizing RSS feeds and using social bookmarking tools to syndicating your blog content all over the web
* Getting comments and building community

This is great! Any plans to offer something for those outside of D.C. in some form?
ReplyDeleteThanks Scott - yes this is definitely possible for non-DC groups, although we'd need to charge for expenses on top; but we are also developing some webinars that may solve that problem (though I think in-person is always better for real hands-on stuff).
