I'm planning to host an "Open Forum on Blogging" session at Cafe Del Sol every Thursday morning from 11:00am to 1:00pm. The first session will be this Thursday, March 30th.

It will be open to all bloggers and would-be bloggers and will be relatively unstructured - and free! The purpose is to answer questions and promote the spread of blogging.

I will be doing some live-blogging, but other bloggers will be joining me to share their experiences and answer questions.

Some topics that have already been suggested are:

Why should artists blog?
Why blog when I have email?
How blogging affects your emotional health
How can blogging help the local economy?
What would happen if more people blogged?
How to find time to blog
How to avoid burnout
What about blogging obsessively?
Who shouldn't blog?
What is a trackback and why would anyone want to use them?
What affects traffic on a blog?

You are encouraged to bring up your own topics for discussion. Non-bloggers will be given priority whenever possible, but there will probably be several parallel discussions, if past experience is any guide.

If you get a moment, come on by and join in the discussion. It could open doors for you that you never considered possible.

This will repeat every Thursday from 11:00am to 1:00pm until blogging becomes pandemic in Floyd.

After all, blogging is contagious, you know....

You catch it from your friends. :)
