I’ll be speaking with the other two Book Broads on Sept. 25th for the Editor’s Association of Canada (Editors.ca), about Creating and Editing Social Content, from 10am to 4pm at SFU’s Harbour Centre Campus, in downtown Vancouver. George Plumley, the Author of WordPress 24 Hour Trainer will be joining us to talk about WordPress, the world’s most widely-used blogging platform and content management system. (And the platform upon which this blog you’re reading is built.)
The focus of our talk is about creating that which really drives social media: CONTENT. Without loyalty to platform, we’ll talk about various platforms and their advantages and disadvantages, including blogging, FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many many others. We’ll send you away with some fast tools that you can put to use right away, and of course, some chocolate.
Early Bird pricing ends Sept. 14th, $100 for Members of the EAC, and $160 for non-Members. Click here to register.

Due to some unavoidable conflicts (that’s the publishing game, I guess!) two of my blog classes have been moved to new dates.
The Langley BC class that was scheduled for Sept. 6th is now on November 8th, which is still a Saturday. The location is still in the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre on the Fraser Hwy. (What nice people they are to help me out with these last-minute changes!)
The Las Vegas, Nevada Class that was scheduled for Sept. 22nd is now on January 10th, 2009, which is a Saturday instead of a Monday. (People seem to prefer Saturdays.) The location for this date will be confirmed shortly.
The other two classes will remain the same:
Surrey, BC, on October 27th, which is the Monday after the Surrey Writer’s Festival. The location for this date will also be confirmed shortly.
And Nanaimo, BC, on October 29th, which is a Wednesday. This class will be held at the lovely new Vancouver Island Conference Centre in downtown old Nanaimo. If you haven’t seen this building going up, you’re going to be amazed – it’s totally world-class.
Thanks to all registrants who were kind enough not to complain when I changed the classes. There will be extra chocolate in it for you…
