Bring your WiFi-enabled laptop, and be ready for a fast-paced discussion about getting your blog to the next level if you already have one, and important things to consider if you are just thinking about starting a blog. Learn from an expert who is determined to make social media accessible to anyone.

We'll talk about....

• Building blog traffic and visibility
• Using blogs to enhance your brand and your business
• Tips on writing for the Web
• Sustaining vision and momentum as a blogger

If you keep hearing about the importance of new media, but aren't sure where to start, this session is your chance to jump in and "make yourself smart" in a small-group, friendly environment.

We are limiting class size to 6 people, for the most personalized interaction. Attendees will each receive a comprehensive list of helpful Web 2.0/blogging links and guidance.

Following the workshop, we'll continue the discussion informally over lunch at a nearby restaurant, for those who are interested.

The Every Dot Connects team is always available on our Facebook business page, LinkedIn, Twitter, our blog and elsewhere online to help you navigate social media, even after the workshop.
