About 30 folks turned out for the morning sessions (Blogging 101) of SamSphere Denver. The training sessions are currently underway and there is an encouraging level of excitement in the air. Ken Marrero is speaking on the History of New Media, with a healthy dose of American History added in for flavor.
The first part of the day is dedicated to blogger training and blogging basics for those who do not yet have a blog, but need to get one set up. After lunch there will be a plethora of discussions and commentary with regards to the Colorado blogosphere.
If you’re a free-market minded blogger in the Denver area and would like to attend the afternoon session, get on over to the official SamSphere Denver page for the details.

You probably remember your first political activism experiences—witnessing the progress made as a result of your efforts. Today activists have a powerful new set of tools to use to inspire change and progress: New Media. One of these tools is blogging, an incredibly effective way to communicate your views and expertise to a wide audience.
With that in mind, the Sam Adams Alliance would like to invite you to Samsphere Denver!
Samsphere Denver is a one-day training event geared toward bloggers. Maybe you’ve never written a word, but have a lot to say. Maybe you started a blog but couldn’t find your rhythm or the success you hoped to achieve. Or maybe you’re currently a successful blogger. Samsphere will cover all levels of expertise.
When: Saturday, April 19, 2008
Where: Adams Mark Hotel, Downtown Denver
