			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Who: raincoaster<br />
What: Blogging for Beginners<br />
When: 12 noon Pacific time Thursday, June 18th<br />
Where: Skype raincoaster99<br />
Why: learn to build a blog in one afternoon</p>
<h2><strong>Blogging for Beginners</strong>:</h2>
<p>Start from scratch and learn to post text, video, audio, and images. Includes 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. By the end of the workshop you’ll have a fully-functioning WordPress.com blog with several blog posts already up.</p>
<p>This class is limited to the first 15 respondents. To register, please email bloggingclasses AT gmail DOT com by Wednesday at noon to make sure the class is not sold out. Please pre-pay $150 via the Paypal button in the top right-hand corner of the blog when your registration is confirmed. Paypal will give you a receipt and I will email you one as well.</p>
<p>Note that WP.com blogs do not carry advertising; this course is NOT for people who want to slap Adsense on their blogs and retire to Cancun in three weeks.</p>
