SM101 got off to an auspicious start with Jeff Moriarty filling in for the esteemed but traffic challenged Evo Terra. Jeff gave the group of about 12 people an overview of WordPress, including; hosting options, widgets, plugins and themes then left the crowd in the capable hands of Evo who presented ‘5 Simple Things That Make Your Blog Better’.

The main event, “Old Media using New Media” was moderated by Michael Barber with a panel of local media representatives and journalists who have experienced firsthand the challenges that traditional media has faced in the last few years. We covered topics ranging from personal safety and ethics policies to the difficulties overcoming corporate resistance.

We ran the twitter-stream for #smcphx on a screen in the room, and the backchannel discussion was both interesting and a source of questions for the panel.  It worked well, so we’ll give this a try at future events.

The detailed notes and contact for the panelists and moderator can be found in the SMCPhoenix Google Group.  Where you can also find additional resources, ask questions and look for ideas.
