Yeah, it's confusing, but this workshop is actually for nitty-gritty
Web developers, not marketing folk. This workshop is the last-minute
addition to the program -- it replaces a marketing session that was
cancelled.

I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to preach. That's also why it
is the only free workshop in the program.

I still like the points that you mentioned, even for the non-marketing
folk. Probably need to shift the focus a bit, but I can use this.

No, UAB is just one of my company's clients. I used to be the UAB
Webmaster for about 5 years, but then the greener pastures (what's up
with this farm talk? first cowpaths, now the pastures) of dot-coms
lured me away.
