[Neasis-l] Weblog Conference at Harvard Law School in October

[Jessica Baumgart]

Hello,

I'm on the Local Host Committee for a conference about weblogs and 
blogging and thought some of you and your colleagues might be 
interested in it.  Please share this notice with anyone who might be 
interested.

Also, there is a Thursday night (7 pm) group for bloggers that meets 
at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School 
that's open to the public.  If any of you are interested in blogging 
or are blogging, please feel free to come to the group.  More details 
are at: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/thursdays/.  The meetings are 
geared towards people at all levels of blogging and usually draw a 
variety of people with a range of blogging skills.


Do you blog or are you interested in blogging?  Find yourself 
wondering if blogging is right for you?  Ever wonder what a weblog is 
anyway?
