Weblogging Seminar with Amanda Watlington
We had a great weblogging seminar presented by Amanda Watlington at the offices of Regus at 40 Warren.
Amanda gave us the basics of weblogging, how to use it for business and how to get setup. It was a really great seminar overall, and we created a handout that you can download if you are interested in the notes.
Thanks to Amanda for the wonderful presentation, and to Regus in Charlestown for hosting the event and providing us with a wonderful lunch.
