I am teaching a series over at Conscious Woman, “Conscious Woman Online“, to help encourage people who have good messages to offer to get online and start communicating with the Digital Natives who are already there.
Yesterday’s class was disappointingly small; only two registrants. Wah, right? Those two registrants were none other than Gloria Lemay, and Ina May Gaskin! WHOOT! I got to soapbox them both with my message; that women need to be able to find good information on birth *before* the Machine gets them. And apparently, I got my message across! WHOOT!!!! Check these review comments out!
I just had my mind expanded this morning by Laureen Hudson’s hour long online session on how to use the internet to get a message out. Laureen’s session “Creating an Online Presence,” gave me a wealth of information in a short time and impressed me with how many people are out there who completely rely on the internet for their information. I needed that, and maybe you do, too.

I just hung up the phone from doing the hour long session with Laureen Hudson on “Creating an Online Presence”. Laureen’s know-how and expertise were enough to wake up even the birth oldtimers like me and Ina May to the many unused opportunities of the internet. Laureen’s engaging and easygoing teaching style made even those scary (to me) terms like “hypertext, streaming, wordpress, technorati, feedreader and trackback” start to make sense. Her passion is to reach the generation of young women who have not yet given birth BEFORE they fall into the black hole of aggressive obstetrics. I came away from the class today with lots of ways to improve my website and make it more modern, usable and interesting for readers. This class will run again this coming Friday (August 22) and I heartily recommend it.- Gloria Lemay
How incredibly spiffy is that?
I‘m teaching that class that they took one more time, and there are two more classes in the series, one on SEO and one on blogging, which I’m honestly more excited about than I was about the first two classes in the series. Hopefully I can drum up some more registrations… cause that means I’ve managed to convince more people to get out there and actually reach the folks who need the messages most.

whoot!!
I owe you an email, but I’m sick and going oh-so-slowly =)
Hi Laureen, want you to know that things are in motion with getting a blog going. I have a dear guy, Troy, who put up my website for me. I wrote to him after the class and said “What do you think about me getting WordPress put on the site and blogging?” I guess that put him into complete shock! I felt like a real digital native with my new language skills–ha, ha. Anyway, he’s going to have my website moved over to his new server and we’ll be good to go in a couple of weeks.
Troy has something on his own website that I think is very cool. He bought some kind of software that allows his customers to send him positive testimonials–either print or voice, I think. He has a business renting condos and rooms in Whistler Mountain ski resort. You can see the result at http://www.resortac.com
I was thinking it would be good to have that kind of fast,easy way to do positive feedback at http://www.consciouswoman.org
Thanks again for all the good info you have given me (and, in English). You inspire me to learn. Love Gloria

NICE! Very spiffy indeed though I’m not surprised at all.
And good for you, GLORIA. Hey, you’re several leagues more internet savvy than my college students. Seriously!

Hey Laureen, guess you noticed I finally joined Facebook at your urging.
Now I’m wondering why I resisted so long—bit like losing one’s virginity
