Thanks to everyone who made it through the snow on Feb. 13 to attend 17 Great Ways to Create Online Content, CSME's first luncheon of 2008. We had an excellent turnout - the room was packed to hear from Shanda Deziel, managing editor of Maclean's.ca, and Jennifer Melo, editor of Homemakers.com as they described how they connect with readers and give them the best read they can.

Please send comments about the venue, the speakers, the food or anything else on the event to csmeadmin@canadianeditors.com.
