Via Education/Technology – Tim Lauer, I was directed to a workshop Alan Levine developed to introduce staff at the Chander-Gilbert Community College to blogging and learning them how to set up a basic blog with Moveable Type.

Handy for me, as I learned a few things about MT myself, being only a recent user. But also handy as this could be the basis to work on when introducing blogging to other audiences.
I would add some more thoughts on why weblogs can be useful than Alan does, before diving into the how, but this workshop is a great idea, especially since the message is packaged in the topic of discussion itself: a blog. Therefore it is not merely a workshop that Alan Levine has created, but a Blogshop.
