First post for the Activate Yourself website - a repository for all the material we will use and look at during the one day seminar at the Graduate Centre this coming May 12th. It’s a marathon dash through all things web and social media orientated, including but not limited to:

• Easy to get Websites - open source
• E-commerce
• Facebook, Twitter, Blogger etc
• HTML Emails
• RSS Feeds
• The User Experience
• Intro to Web Analytics
• Some legal stuff

We look forward to meeting you on the day, and hope you’ll find it as rewarding to attend as we are preparing for it!
