<div>Several of the Editors present at this meeting attended--and spoke highly of--one or more of the free communications workshops offered through Harvard. Go to:</div>

</div>
<div>In fact, our own Ken Gagne of MIT Medical *taught* one of the workshops, "How to Launch Your Own Website Using Wordpress." Ken's presentation was videotaped, so you can watch the 1 hour 18 minute presentation from the following <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiRM0rfjD7I">link</a>.
You can also access Ken's <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/kgagne/how-to-launch-your-own-website-using-wordpress">slides</a> from the presentation.</div>

<b>*MIT Acronyms*</b><br>
<br>
Editors at this meeting came from RD, EECS, UPOP, IS&T, and….many other acronyms. That reminded us of the MIT acronyms wiki that members of MIT Editors' Club should find useful:<br>
<br>
<i>Acronyms, abbreviations and lingo used at MIT</i><br>
<br>
https://wikis.mit.edu/confluence/display/ACRONYMS/Acronyms+Home<br>
<br>
The original web site was created and maintained by Editors' Club members Janet Snover and Catherine Avril; Editor Alice Waugh turned it into a wiki back in 2008. That means that anyone at MIT (with certificates) can make additions or changes to the list, including
adding a link or perhaps a short description to any of the entries to make them more informative.
