Please share with friends – I recommend these 2 classes on Saturday August 25, 2018 Mechanics’ Institute Library in San Francisco, California
Create a winning website/blog for yourself with expert help from Linda Lee Askmepc
http://www.askmepc-webdesign.com/
Morning class: https://www.milibrary.org/events/author-website-building-site-works-aug-25-2018
Afternoon class: https://www.milibrary.org/events/wordpress-bootcamp-creating-wordpress-website-and-how-use-it-aug-25-2018
Expert Linda Lee says:
The morning class is a round table discussion where we discuss general questions such as; domain names, hosting, websites, and what you need to get started.
What is the difference between all these things? What should they cost me? What domain names should I buy and where?
Why do I need all of this to have a website?
This is a beneficial few hours for many people. You can ask me any questions you like.
I have a presentation and hand-out with all the important facts you need to know.
It is common for people to not understand exactly how this all works. It can be quite confusing.
This is a warm and informative environment to learn. There are no silly questions here.
This class is very affordable! Click the link below to sign up and read more details if you are interested.

The afternoon class is an actual hands-on WordPress (WP) training class.
Once you sign up, I will be sending your own WP test site. This is your site to use for the class, and to practice on for 90 days.
This also includes some short videos, I will send you, showing you how to login and give you a bit of the basics, before the class.
Just some of what we will be covering will include: blogging, writing a good search engine optimized article, what is search engine optimization and why do you need it? What is the difference between a page and a post? Do I have to blog?
You will learn how to correctly add images and name them. All the parts of the dashboard and back end.
Even if you have been using your website, this is a great place to learn more and refresh what you already know.
After each section of the hands on presentation, we have a Q&A.
At the end of the training, Mary E. Knippel, a writing coach, former journalist and editor, will discuss with you:
writing posts, blogging, how to stay motivated, how to tap into your creative side and ongoing ideas for your website.
Sometimes we just run out of steam, and Mary will help you dig into that creative mind we all have.

As always, I enjoy working with you, and helping you move forward with your website and online goals.
Thank you,
Linda Lee

New Ways to Read: eMaterials, Libraries, and the Digital Divide
Saturday, August 2nd, 2014, 2:00–4:00 pm
at Rockridge Branch Library, 5366 College Avenue, Oakland
Speaker: Sharon McKellar, Librarian
Are you curious to know how libraries add eBooks to their collections? Have you heard of OVERDRIVE? Do you wonder which readers are digital and which aren’t? Come to our kick-off meeting of the program year and find out! Mix and mingle after the talk, snacks provided. FREE to members and guests. Please RSVP at http://wnba-sfchapter.org/new-ways-read-ematerials-libraries-digital-divide/
Sharon McKellar, Oakland Public Librarian will speak about new ways to read, including eBooks, downloadable audiobooks, and online reading and will give insight into what types of books (genre, age range etc.) get more use digitally. She will also address impacts these new “reading technologies” have on libraries, librarians, and a population with uneven access to digital resources and will shed light on how libraries are facing these impacts, both good and bad. Following the talk there will be time for questions.
Sharon McKellar has been a librarian with the Oakland Public Library since 2003, serving as a children’s librarian, a branch manager, and currently as the Community Relations Librarian. She is a reader, a writer, and an excited member of the 2015 Caldecott Selection Committee.
