Intro to Blogging Workshop Set for Bell Arts June 19

The Bell Arts Factory and The Write Alley will present an introduction to blogging workshop Saturday, June 19 from 10am to noon in the first of a series of workshops designed to help small business owners and artists learn how to use the the WordPress blogging platform and other social media tools to promote their business.

“From Your Head to the Web in 99 Minutes for $99 or less*” is a small, 5-10 person hands-on workshop which introduces you to the basics of website development and blogging in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.

In 99 minutes, you will learn how to build a site, how to make the writing come alive, how to upload images and video, how to get people there, and you will get feedback on your message and your medium.

Please bring a laptop with wireless, a copy of your business plan if you have one, and other materials you want to use for your site (photos, text, etc). Before class, please determine and research the name of your proposed website.

* What do you mean, the class is $99 or less? $15 of your registration fee will go to your own URL or be refunded. If you’re an artist at Bell Arts or a member, take off another $20. If you “like”   Belle Arts or The Write Alley, take off another $5 for each. If you ride your bike to the workshop, you’ll get another $5 off. A final $5 discount goes to fellow WEV graduates–as long as you bring your business plan with you!
