Confusion and courses

Unless I'm mistaken, this blog used to pull from my old blog, at least when I used the Vancouver tag. Alas, I have no time today to check out why it doesn't do that anymore. Sigh.

FYI new blogging courses up, which is ironic under the circumstances, eh?

Blogging for Beginners: four hours, start from scratch and learn to post text, video, audio, and images. Basic copyright and blog etiquette, intro to sidebar widgets, categories, custom headers and design, and what on Earth to put IN the blog. Also where to find technical help.
This one is running August 2nd, ie this Saturday, 10-2, $150 pre-registered, and only eight spaces. I'll be running it again on the 23rd.
