I thought I’d share the slides from the blogging/wiki lecturette that I gave at ID with Vince LaConte.

Here are a few takeaways:

• If you want to blog, it’s relatively easy and safe to get started immediately using ID’s multi user wordpress server.
• Get used to using RSS to read news/commentary and del.icio.us to find and classify information for yourself, because you never know what it might be interesting to draw a connection from later on.
• Blogiquette: If you use someone else’s material, make sure you link to them to acknowledge work.
• Use the ID Wiki. It’s good stuff, and I forget it’s there sometimes but I’m really glad when I remember.

Special thanks goes to Daniel Erwin for taking and hosting the notes on the IDWiki and to Vince LaConte for the Wiki portion of the lecturette.
