  Hello Ms. Lorna! I’d be honored to be invited to do this kind of seminar in Cebu. :)
  
  There is actually a very active bloggers’ group there — Cebu Bloggers Society. Maybe they could spearhead such an effort.

@koya blogie, wooot!! I remember reading one of Max Limpag’s post about you doing talk for CBS.

@Lorna, I wouldn’t say CBS will have a WordPress talk, but we will have a general Blogging 101 and related topics, but its still unclear exactly when. Please do check http://focalglass.com as it is where I post information for the latest activities offered by CBS :)

  Do give my regards to Max. I hope to be back in Cebu soon! It would be good to expand my WordPress advocacy there. :)
