Our final week of Introduction to blogging

For our final week now that you have all created a blog written a post and commented on others blogs we could look at adding some of the more creative visual impact of a blog that makes them interesting to read.
We will look at adding widgets, (extra small programs), adding documents and linking to other websites. We will also look into making a profile on our blogs as well.


We have a change of venue for this week, we will now meet at the Princes St CLC at the corner of Princes St and Moray Place at the same time 6pm.

For wordpress bloggers I have linked some information into my blog to help with adding videos and audio.
Finally we would appreciate it if you could fill in this survey so we can have some feedback about our course. We have enjoyed your enthusiastic approach to learning blogging and your commitment.

Introduction to blogging course work.

After our initial workshop course participants left with a blog set up ready to look at and work with during the week. We asked to have the url sent to us by email so we could have a list of each other's blogs. For our next workshop session we will be discussing commenting and writing posts as well as adding pictures, hyperlinks and linking webpages.




These are our first blogs set up and I will keep adding to this as they send the urls.
