It's called "Blogging 101: An introduction to blogs and blogging", and will cover a range of topics from the history of blogging to how to blog, with particular emphasis on hyper-local community blogging.

in the back room
The program seems to get started around noon. Folks come and go during the whole thing and I swear, it never ends at 1:00
Of all the Party meetings and events, these lunches are my favorite because they are far more personal than most events.
Join us!
Tin foil optional.
I'll be there
I'm looking forward to finally putting some faces to names to pseudonyms!
Sorry I'll miss this one
I'll bet we could all learn a thing or three whilst sitting at the feet, as it were.
(I'll have to wait for the podcast)
