[ShareTompkins] Ithaca Freeskool - 2 free tech workshops

[Ari Moore]

Hullo,

Please feel free to share this info with folks who you think may be interested.

These workshops will be very informal, facilitated by me in my home, and tailored to the skill levels and interests of those who come. If you know about these subjects and want to come and share your own knowledge please do - we can all learn from each other!

Thanks, and peace,
Ari

Friendface 101: Intro to Social Networking

Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Delicious, and other social technology websites can be time-wasting replacements for human interaction - but used right, they can instead be an effective way for us to publicize events and services, share radical ideas, meet incredible people, and contribute to social change. Walking through popular sites together, we'll talk about how to choose which ones to join, how to have fun and get results without wasting a lot of time, and how to protect your privacy and copyrights.

Monday, June 7, 2010, 7-9pm
212 N. Plain St. #1, Ithaca

Really Easy Blogging with Wordpress

Bring your own computer and follow along or just watch as we tour through a Wordpress.com website - whether you have a Wordpress blog already, are interested in setting one up, use a different service but want some basic tips about how to be a better blogger, even if you don't know what a blog is yet. We'll go over common tasks and talk about best practices. Wordpress is a user-friendly open-source blogging technology people can use to set up whole websites for free.
