When you attend the Web Publishing 101 you will learn how to maintain your own web site. The web site employs a content management system, so you don’t have to learn HTML.
Because the web site is in a newsletter format, adding new content is as easy as writing an email message.
When the Workshop is over, you’ll get your own web site with your own domain name, or you can transfer an existing domain name if you like.
You can join neighborhood organizations like Touro Boluginy, Xavier Triangle, and Kenilworth New Orleans who are using their web sites to reconnect their neighborhoods.
Please RSVP to workshops@thinknola.com, and bring a wireless laptop if you can. Desktops are available, but limited.
1832 Felicity St.
Cost: There is a suggested donation of $75.00, but no one is turned away.
[Web Publishing 102]
- What: Add images to your postings, and orgainze postings into articles.
- When: Thursday, August 17th, 2006 at 6:00 pm.
- Where: New Orleans Housing Resources Center at 1832 Felicity St.
- Cost*: There is a suggested donation of $75.00, but no one is turned away.
The suggested donation allows you to retake the specific workshop over and over, until you are familiar with the course material.

Hollygrove Neighbors will be reporting on the happenings in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans. Where is this neighborhood? How much damage did it suffer in Katrina? How far along it Hollygrove in the recovery process? These are the sorts of questions that are answered by a neighborhood web site. If you’d like to help out a neighborhood in New Orleans, stop by Hollygrove Neighbors and show your support. If the Hollygrove Neighbors have questions about their new web site, ask them here and we’ll answer them as best we can.

The workshop went as well as I could have hoped. There were eight attendees including two from the community. The dreamy teaching lab and the “Smart Symposium” were amazing for someone who’s whose sole visual aide has been a waving of hands.
Pastor Bruce Davenport said nice things about the class, the gist of which was that it was much easier than he ever expected. He said he dreaded the class, so all we had to do was be a little bit better than dreadful to beat his expecations.
Workshops are about learning new skills, sharing learned sklls and networking.
Karen Gadbois attended her first workshop, although she’s been publishing on a Think New Orleans hosted WordPress web site, with help form Bart Everson and myself. At the workshop she connected with a Hollygrove resident, and they made plans to work together.
I look forward to establishing five new WordPress web sites hosted by Think New Orleans.
There were two notes to self. First, I need to discourage chat like abuse of punctuation, since it will lead to confusing results when teaching Textile. Second, I need to write down the login names on 3 x 5 cards hand them out, so that two people don’t take the same login name.
