Web Publishing For Katrina Victims
Welcome to Think New Orleans
Think New Orleans helps New Orleans use the Internet. We host Internet Workshops for nonprofit and neighborhood organizations, as well as small businesses.
We show you how to use the Internet as your productivity office suite, with classes in calendaring, collaborative authoring, and mailing list management.
We show you how to use the Internet for advocacy with classes in web publishing, Podcasting, email marketing, and online photo albums.
These workshops have been a great success. We’ve helped a number of neighborhood organizations get off the ground with their own web site.

When you attend the Web Publishing 101 you will learn how to maintain your own web site. The web site employs a content management system, so you don’t have to learn HTML.
Because the web site is in a newsletter format, adding new content is as easy as writing an email message.
When the Workshop is over, you’ll get your own web site with your own domain name, or you can transfer an existing domain name if you like.
Internet Workshops are either for nonprofits or for businesses. Please make sure you attend the appropriate workshop.

DeSaix Neighborhood Association
Please stop by the DeSaix Neighborhood Association web site, maintained by Internet workshop attendee Wayne Benjamin.
This is not a static brochure web site. Nor is it an overly complex message forum. It is a straightforward, yet highly effective content management system for neighborhoods.
It is a neighborhood newsletter to publish information. A built-in bulletin board gathers neighborhood feedback.
Wayne uses this forum to publish meeting agendas and minutes, and to announce important events. Regular contributions from neighbors show how effective a web site can be to share information within a neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Alan Gutierrez
