GREENSBORO, NC – Blogging isn’t just for the media or politicians. Attractions, events, arts councils, museums and tourism promotion organizations can also use them. They increase visibility on the Internet and ultimately build traffic and attendance.
Members of the tourism industry are invited to attend a free blogging user’s conference on Friday, October 17. ConvergeSouth will be held on the campus of NC A&T State University in Greensboro. Tourism writer and promoter Greta Lint will be giving a session at 3 p.m. specifically for the tourism industry. Attendees bringing wireless laptops will be able to set up their own blog during the class.
“This session is designed for the beginner who knows how to use a computer, but is clueless about what a blog is,” says Lint. “I find many people are afraid of blogs, that they’ll only be used by people to post negative comments or that they’re a fad. So untrue. Blogs can be used as Websites for organizations with limited funds. This class will show how to do that.” She says that www.oakborocruisein.com is a good example of how a small organization can use a blog as a Website.
To register for the free conference, log onto www.convergesouth.com and log onto http://2008.convergesouth.com/conference/travel.php for parking instructions.
