This month, we're taking our blogging workshop on the road to help one university communications office learn blogging skills -- and consider how to apply it as a strategic tool in their work. Customized on-site training in blogging is available for small groups, whether for your office team or your organization's freelancers or members.

And now you can register for any workshop through June. We'll be offering them twice each month in the National Press Club's computer classroom, using high-speed Internet connections to get you started -- every participant creates a blog in the first five minutes of the workshop.

Our writing coaching services can be customized to include small-group training, as well as one-on- one work designed to help individual writers meet their (and their manager's) goals. It's professional development with a high value, based on the concept that two people benefit when a writer improves: the writer, and anyone editing her.

The blog also offered some ideas for training your organization's youngest members -- such as student members or youth representatives -- to give effective presentations and media interviews. And we looked at a new CEO blogger on the other end of the spectrum: 75-year-old Bill Marriott, chairman and CEO of the hotel chain, who launched a business blog this month.
