I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. Coming up, we have a Blogging
workshop on June 2, followed by a Podcasting workshop on June 9. Also, are any
of you interested in helping teach a future blogging workshop? My time with
E-Democracy is coming to an end soon, and we'd like to start finding new
volunteers to take my place. This Monday's workshop would be the perfect time
for you to come out and help teach. If you're interested in helping with
Blogging (or any of our other workshops, for that matter), send me an email at
<email obscured> .
---UPCOMING WORKSHOP: BLOGGING---
Our June 2 workshop is on blogs and blogging (a blog being a website consisting
mainly of dated posts arranged chronologically). Come learn the basics of
using free tools such as Blogger or Wordpress (depending on audience interest)
to maintain a simple blog or website. We will also introduce concepts such as
content management, widgets and really simple syndication (RSS), all of which
will be important in upcoming workshops.

---DAILY PLANET WRITERS' GROUP---
In other news, The Twin Cities Daily Planet (tcdailyplanet.net) has an ongoing
writers' group at Rondo Library during our regular tabling time, starting at 4
pm. According to the Planet's website, you can "bring something you’re working
on to share with the group, or just come to get ideas and/or assignments." I
would also like to add that the writers' group is frequently done by 5:30 or
so, making it very easy to go to both the writer's group and our upcoming
Outreach meeting.
---E-DEMOCRACY WORKSHOPS FOR YOUR GROUP---
Finally, St. Paul E-Democracy would like to widen our audience by doing a
couple of our workshops each month "off site." If you have a group that would
be interested to host one of our workshops, please contact
<email obscured> . A rough list of workshops is available at

Thanks for reading, and see you Monday.
