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!

Caralyn Green of POP City shares thoughts about attending Podcamp Pittsburgh 4 this past weekend. Sounds like she enjoyed the people and was particularly impressed by everyone’s spirit.

My challenge to interested in organizing #PCPGH5: How will you better cater some session topics to social media newbies like Patrick’s wife? More importantly, how will you make the experienced attendees seem more approachable to first-timers?

Dawn Papuga asks that you please see the form provided below.

Updated based on feedback from Caralyn. My apologies for the initial errors. – Anthony
