Howdy,
I recently attended at Blogging & Social Media workshop here in Dubai by David Hobby of the blog Strobist during GPP 2012. If you are interested in taking photography courses here in Dubai check out GPP's website. If you are interested in learning how to use your flash off of your camera check out David's blog.
One of his workshops at GPP 2012 was about blogging and social media - he had a few other course as well. It was a great course but I felt it was too short - it left me wanting more. It really needs to be a 2-3 day workshop to get some hands on experience. Unfortunately for me, I learn by monkey see monkey do (with a few bananas needing to be thrown in). I also want that safety net if I have a question right then and there I can get a response. I KNOW there are places on the internet that explain it but if your a bit thick as I am when it comes to internet technology it is nice to have someone hold your hand and explain it. :-)

Anyway, back to the course. David complied a list of 50 Rules to Blogging and Social Media which he handed out to the class. There was a rule on the list that gave me pause and convinced me that I should come out of the closet ...
