We launched the WriterGal Network site last night at our October membership meeting and received a great response. It's always fun to have Web site launch parties. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to make this a reality!

Leila co-founded the WriterGal Network five years ago. It's wonderful to see how it's grown into a strong, collaborative resource of communications professionals. Now we're able to let the world know about us.

We're starting a series of multi-day technology training sessions in Albuquerque. They are designed for nonprofit and small business staff who are or will be responsible for the organization's Web site.

This topic has been done to death, hasn't it? I do have a couple of other points to add related to blogging in Albuquerque.

Yesterday, I (Leila) had the opportunity to be interviewed by Autumn Gray of the Albuquerque Journal for a piece she's writing on business blogging. Everyone always talks about New Mexico being behind the times with technology, and blogging is no exception.

As you may know, Microsoft recently made Office 2007 available to the general public. Unlike other versions of Office, the layout and overall functionality is different. Specifically, you'll notice a change in the menu options and typical toolbar buttons. Some of our clients have made the switch. One of the reasons that others haven't is because of the difficulty in finding training and support. As a Registered Microsoft Partner, we were able to get our hands on advanced copies and have been tinkering with it for the past few months.
