6 About The Workshop This workshop: Intended as hands-on session with group discussion No PCs available for hands-on exercises :-( Implications: 3 hours of talk is very boring 3 hours listening to 2 speakers will not help the learning process The workshop facilitators aren’t experts in everything So: Active participation (asking questions, giving answers, making suggestions, etc.) is expected! Note: We don’t know all the answers We also want to learn

7 Exercise 1 What is your background? What interests in Web magazines do you have? What do you hope to gain from the session? What specific issues would you like addressed?
