The class I am teaching with Whit Nelson on blogs and content management systems (CMS) will make its inaugural run at Ascend Training on January 8-9, 2009. The two-day class will cover a variety of blog and CMS-related topics, including software options, RSS feeds, case studies, social media, custom templates, and so on. Hands-on exercises built to help you learn the ins and outs of setting up, configuring and customizing your own blog or content management system will round out the two day curriculum. Day one focuses on blogs and blog software while day two is reserved for CMS.
