Learn a new skill and serve constituents at the same time
I don't normally rechannel news releases here, but I'm going to make an exception because this is cause close to my heart -- public policy.
Local bloggers -- could be Greensboro101, but the release doesn't explicitly say -- are holding an instructional forum on blogging literacy at 10 a.m. March 19 at the Nussbaum Center, 2007 Yanceyville St. The 90-minute forum is open to elected officials, prospective candidates and policy-makers and is intended to introduce public servants to blogging and provide them with one-on-one instruction to learn how to set-up and write a blog.
It's free and registration is required. Register online at www.onlinegreensboro.info or call (336) 288-2245.

Hi John,
Thanks for the plug. The board of Greensboro101 is coordinating some of the details, but it's really a group effort involving the larger local blogger community.
In an effort to make attendance as appealing as possible, we are keeping it to 90 minutes, most of which will be one-on-one instruction, but there will be a brief overview of blogging conducted by Sue Polinsky. If you'd like to join us and offer a few words about your blogging expereinces and the plans of the N&R as part of the overview, I think that would be great.

I believe the Room is 116 also. There will be a sign up on the door. The building will be locked, but Mark has assured me that he will be there to let people in. If people straggle in, just buzz the lab. We have a camera setup that allows remote buzz-ins.

Now Roch, you said you wanted to make attendance appealing and then you offered me a speaking part. Well, which one is it? Do you want people to come or not? :)
