.:Live webcast event alert:.Philadelphia, PA, August 2, 2008--- Promoting an organization's agenda in the 21st century takes an internet presence.

During this 2 hour hands-on workshop, participants will learn: What is a blog? Why do I/my organization need one? How can I build and maintain a blog for free? How can I promote my blog? How can I use a blog to generate revenue?
