We had one of the best Thursday meetings ever. Quite a few newbies, so we spent much of the time with demos and Q&A, including text wrapping around pictures, permalinks, the difference between stories and newsitems. Chris Lydon and Bob Doyle explained how Blogradio works; Biz Stone was there from Wellesley, Wendy and I talked about BloggerCon. We talked about a cooperative cross-university site with case studies promoting weblog use in education. Lots of other good stuff. If you're in the Boston area, please come some Thursday. If you're an experienced geek or a total newbie, ages 9 to 90, it's fun for the whole family!
