Earlier this year we had the opportunity to teach down at the Arizona Small Business Association about blogging. This has proven to be a helpful class for small businesses and even non-profits.

The class focused on:

• Using the administration screens of Wordpress (Our blogging software of choice! Until something better comes along that is…)
• Selecting a theme and customizing it for your needs
• Writing and publishing posts
• Using plugins
• Notable websites for blogging
• Posting comments
• Applications for blogging
• Best Practices

If you did not get a chance to attend, we set up a blog-site, (www.blogging202.com) named after the class, that has all of our notes from the course. Sort of like cheating, isn’t it? Nah. Since I have found myself recommending this site to a number of our blogging clients recently, I thought I’d write about it again here at our TCS blog. We hope this site proves useful for those of you who have entered into the world of blogging!

Best of luck!

Alot of people are using Digg.com and may already know what it is. But for those of us (myself included) who have no idea what it is, here is a little helpful info!

Everyone has their own unique personality- we’re all different! We act, speak and interpret the words and actions of others according to our emotions and the way we feel. That is why when writing an email you have to be very conscience of who you are writing to and what point you are trying to get across to them. Words can be very misinterpreted over the Internet if you aren’t careful. You may have said something as simple as “How is your day going?” and the person you are writing to may take it as you prying into their personal life. Here is an article on npr.org we found that can help you develop a better email writing style. Enjoy!
