Lunching and Learning and Wishing and Hoping

Today is Monday, a day that normally finds me in PJs and bunny slippers working in the home office. But I made the trek into the main office today, because it’s a Lunch and Learn (!) day.
What, you may ask, is a Lunch and Learn? It’s an opportunity for our marketers to get together and talk about new technologies and how they impact our jobs. Today is the blogging L&L, and I’ve been asked to talk about how to set up a blog.
Against my personal preferences, I will be using Bloggerto do this demo. I much prefer WordPress, but have to admit that it’s not always that intuitive at times (must be why WordPress For Dummies has been the #1 on the most popular blogging books list on Amazon). I’ve heard TypePad is a breeze, but it’s a paid service, and not everyone will want to fork over their hard-earned moola to set up one of these puppies. It’s in my best interests and everyone else’s for that matter, to go lowest common denominator here.
Wish me luck!
