#PCPGH4 Session Followup: Blogging 101
We’re going to share all the media, links, and feedback following Podcamp Pittsburgh 4. Send what you’ve got to “sessions [at] podcamppittsburgh d0t com” so we can keep the discussion and make the impact of your hard work that much more lasting. Also, please specify the session to which the material belongs. Thanks.
Mike Pound has finally summarized his experience at Podcamp Pittsburgh 4. Mike was a very helpful volunteer, does a great job prosthelytizing the newfangled outlets of blogs, podcasts, and vlogs, even among the stodgiest of his peers. He also was a last minute edition to the PCPGH4 schedule, presenting “Blogging 101.”
The three blogs I know that started as a result of the Blogging 101 session:
Comics and Beer. Bob agreed to be the guinea pig of the class. He’ll also be starting blogs for his journalism school students at WVU; naturally, I’m very curious to see how those go.
Crazy Love, Crazy Life. Danielle said in class she had three blogs ready to go, but hadn’t pulled the trigger on any of them. I was immensely pleased to see that this one, about her life as a newlywed, went live right after Podcamp.
Confessions of a Serial Life Changer. Danielle’s other blog that appeared right after Podcamp ended. This one will be a little tougher, as she’s dealing with some potentially deep, personal stuff. Harder to write, sure; it also has the potential to be much more rewarding.
Way to go, Uncle Crappy!

@redpenmama: I Have No Idea
I Have No Idea I went to PodCamp Pittsburgh 4, and was instantly overwhelmed. Not necessarily in a good way for this introverted chickie with a small, family blog. However, I hung in there and I met some really great, helpful people, who didn’t laugh in my face and ask what I was doing there. [...]

It’s a Beautiful Day in the Pittsburgh Social Media Neighborhood
I’ve been thinking about neighborhoods and neighbors lately. One of the things I love about Pittsburgh is its neighborliness. From what I’ve seen Pittsburgh has some of the friendliest people in the world. They make good neighbors, and Fred Rogers was the exemplar par excellence. It’s sort of a city with a small town feel, or [...]

I blame PodCamp (in a good way) – @CarlaSwank
My first PodCamp was PCPGH3. I was invited by a former co-worker (and good friend) to come and see what it was all about. I was a very new blogger. I was afraid to sign up for a Twitter account. I’d only been a Facebook user for a couple of weeks. I didn’t know much. [...]
