The blogging workshop turned out to be a huge success, with about twenty people showing up (I’m horrible at estimating headcounts, so feel free to correct me there). The questions were good, and the feedback I’ve gotten since the presentation has been positive.

The goal of the presentation was to show the variety of uses for blogging/WordPress, and we were successful in that.

It’s interesting that Keene State is pursuing Web 2.0 more through the staff than the faculty at this point — but I think it’s promising too. People showed up to this seminar because they know that blogging can help them to be more effective in their jobs. I like a crowd like that, because if you can solve their problems they become powerful evangelists.

Here is a list of sites we looked at the blogging workshop:

If there are additional materials anyone would like, please contact me.

We will be upgrading our Wordpress Multi-user software from v1.3 to v1.5.1 sometime next week, probably Monday morning. Upgrading WPMu tends to be a bit of an adventure and sometimes things can happen, so your blog may be down for a bit during the upgrade. This upgrade includes some new features (like a multi-file uploader) and security and bug fixes.

Thanks for your patience.
