TOPIC: Creating a Web Presence

Michelle and Heather will help you tame the wild internet with their workshop on creating a web presence. They will focus on all three levels of authors: newbies, almost-published and published. Find out what you should be doing at each stage of your career and how you can make your website work for you. There will be plenty of examples plus a handout featuring a glossary and helpful web addresses.

Some of the topics that will be covered include:

• How to register a domain name - and what to do with it once you have it
• Blog vs. website - what’s the difference?
• How often should you refresh your site design?
• eNewsletters
• Getting listed in search engines
• Design and layout tips
