Thanks for the compliments, and good to see another local blogger out there. Please come back.

And you're far from being a beginner. And I would rather eat broken glass and dance to ABBA than teach a beginning class that literally slows down to "how do I set up a Blogger Blog" but you have to admit that the Writer's Center is not the bastion of the bleeding edge. So, here's some advice: in a world of education and training, Blogging Basics does literally mean "blogging basics." That said, I also want you to check out some other free resources: <a href="http://cabraham.com/ideas" rel="nofollow">Ideas of Chris Abraham</a> That is basically wherein I give the entire shop away! Cheers for the review. If you have ever made a blog, know what a blog is, etc, I would recommend you attend only the Advanced Blogging class. Also, although this is a gorgeous blog, I would recommend going to http://www.livingstonbuzz.com/blog/wp-admin/options-permalink.php and consider changing your permalinks from "web URLs" to the "custom URL structure" which could change this article from http://www.livingstonbuzz.com/blog/?p=252 to http://www.livingstonbuzz.com/blog/2007/04/27/blogging-for-basics which might be longer but is a) easier to understand, URL-wise, as to its topic and it is also b) Google-nip. Also, you have lost an amazing opportunity to offer Meta tags (description, keywords, etc) and a number of other missing pieces. Anyway, sorry to be showing off here but there is a lot more to blogging than learning how to blog and I would highly encourage you to consider attending the Advanced Blogging class.
