Blog, facebook, twittering and other rather odd sounding words seem to be pretty much on every one’s lips at present and the problem is that there is an assumption that everybody should know what it all means. But every seed needs nurturing and so does people’s knowledge.
There is now available a short guide on how to use this website as we have also been guilty of assuming that everyone knows how this blogging malarkey works. It’s a very brief and meant to be a taster on how communicating on the web works.
If anybody wishes to get more of a hands on guide then there will be a free social media surgery on Wednesday 22nd April in Digbeth, Birmingham. This is how the organisers describe the event:
Volunteers from the Birmingham bloggers group are offering to show voluntary and community groups in the city how you can make best use of social media. It doesn’t matter if you are the head of communications at a major charity or an active citizen in your neighbourhood, if you’re at all curious come along.
No boring speeches, no jargon.
Tools like blogs, podcasts, video and social networks can give a real boost to campaigning organisations, often for no or little cost. So these experts are offering you approachable one to one help and support because they believe it can help. You may just want to see what is possible and go away and think about it. You might be itching to set up a blog and start using it.
Perhaps you think video might help you tell your story but don’t know where to start? All is possible. There’ll be no lectures, just people with knowledge, ideas and a passion to help you make best use of the internet for your organisation.
For more information then go to this link and at least one of the Court Lane Allotmenteers will be there so there can be veg talk as well as blog talk.
