I was invited to guest lecture on the "basics of blogging" to a Consumer Behavior class at Saint Michael's College in the fall of 2011. The students are required to blog and tweet all semester and for many this will be the first time using either social networking service. This presentation includes information that I think is essential for a new blogger to know and examples of blog posts that I believe will be helpful and inspirational for the students.
