Time to End Bloglessness!! Yay!!!!!! If you or someone you know has been looking to start a blog, now is the time to get your hand held as we walk through the process.</p> <pre><code> We’re going to try it a little differently this time. Last time it was a 4 hour workshop helping people install a blog. This time we’re going to help people start a hosted blog and use the time to train them on how to use it. Format Each session will be 1 hour: 15 minute presentation and 45 minutes of assisted help. During assisted help, attendees can raise their hands to get help from one of our assistants. Assistants are folks from the Portland tech scene that have done this process before who can help you with your questions. Agenda * Session 1 - Sign up for your blog 12:00-1:00pm; * Session 2 - Dial in the settings for your blog 1:00-2:00pm; * Session 3 - Intro to posting on your blog 2:00-3:00pm; * Session 4 - How to promote your blog 3:00-4:00pm; * 4:00-5:00pm will be an open help time to ask help with anything you’d like. What to expect We are focusing on WordPress blogs for this workshop. We chose WordPress so that if your blog is going well enough and you need to graduate to a hosted blog, you’re data and experience will be compatible. By the time you leave the workshop, you’ll have a blog that is ready to go and some direction on how to connect with other local bloggers. We are expecting people from all skill levels, including the technically challenged. Everyone will be treated with respect and will be encouraged. We’ll be hosting the event at Webtrends. There are some computers available to use, but we highly recommend bringing your laptop if you have one as there likely won’t be enough computers for everyone. Help us get the word out! Most of the people we’re hoping to reach are either to far outside of our social circles or are offline completely. We could use your help in letting people know about this free workshop to get a blog up and running. We don’t care if your motivation to blog is personal, professional, or political; we’ll help you get one up and running. * Tweet the link to this page <a href="http://bit.ly/14OwQU">http://bit.ly/14OwQU</a> * Email this page to a friend * RSVP on Upcoming and Calagator * Tell someone in real life using your voice. Crazy, huh? Why is this free? We’re hoping to make new friends and be good citizens. We don’t want to be an insular group, so we want to enable others to join. And, because we’re Portlanders inspired by other Portlanders to DIY and that Yes We Can. :) Help out If you have experience with installing WordPress, we’d love to have you help answer people’s questions.
