It’s official!

I picked up the proclamation from the Governor’s office this morning.

We’ll be presenting it at Mactoberfest, tomorrow, during the annual meeting.

A *heavy* box of books arrived in my mail yesterday afternoon. It barely fit in the mail bin!

These are the 40 books of Lorelle VanFossen’s book, Blogging Tips, What bloggers won’t tell you about blogging, that will be given free to the students at the Web Weavers Workshop.

I checked the contents and couldn’t help but take a peek at a copy. WOW!

This is one book that you’ll be keeping close to your deskspace at all times. It’s that good. It’s 95 pages of valuable tips and ideas. And each page generally has two to four items. Good table of contents and it’s indexed well.

You don’t need to even be remotely interested in blogging. If you have a web site and if you develop web sites, you’ll find find this book valuable.

You could buy this book here. Or you could get it free at the next Web Weavers Workshop AND spend prime time with Lorelle.

Lorelle has graciously accepted our request to be our guest sensei for an all-day hands-on workshop on WordPress. You’ll not find a better teacher with so much vivre and personality!

The Web Weavers Workshop is on Wednesday, October 22 from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, at the Manoa Innovation Center. Registration fee covers the room rental, class material and lunch.

More information and registration here.

I just sent a request to the Governor’s office to request a proclamation!

It would be wonderful if she would declare October 18 to 25, 2008 as Hawaii Geek Week. I hope they approve it.

Here’s a copy of our application.
