BLOGGING FROM BEGINNING TO BEYOND FOR FUN AND (HOPEFULLY) PROFIT

BLOGGING FROM BEGINNING TO BEYOND FOR FUN AND (HOPEFULLY) PROFIT

Altadena, CA—Blogging seems to be gathering more and more momentum.  Some bloggers may see their work as a fun technological adventure.  Others hope to publicize themselves, their organizations, or small businesses.  Blogs can also be utilized as a way to discuss issues, present valuable information, or serve as a diary or record of events, thoughts, writings, etc.  Many may hope to provide a service which might eventually net them a steady stream of income, perhaps enough to give up their day job, or become the basis of a best-selling book.

Experienced blogger, teacher, and full-time freelance journalist Anne Louise Bannon, will present a lively workshop useful for both beginners and experienced bloggers to answer such questions as "What is blogging?" "Why do it?"  "How do I create content?" and "How can I make it pay?"  Bannon manages several blogs including Your Family Viewer (http://yourfamilyviewer.com), which reviews television shows for families; The Oddball Grape (http://oddballgrape.com), a blog about tasting wines, wineries, the people who make wine, and the lifestyle that goes with it; and White House Rhapsody (http://whitehouserhapsody.com), a romance fiction blog that takes place in the White House.
