Blogging for Beginners

Full Description

If you've always wanted to have a blog, but aren't sure where to start or if you know enough "techy stuff", this class is for you. Blogging can be as easy as writing a text document on your computer once you've got everything set up, and by the end of this class you'll know everything you need to know to set up your blog.  

 

We'll cover:

• registering and configuring your blog on Wordpress
• writing posts
• adding images from Flickr
• Q&A about blogging

If time permits:

• Add fun widgets (like a link to your Ravelry profile, your flickr photos or links to other blogs you read)

 

If you bring a laptop computer with wireless capability, your blog will be set up and ready to go by the end of class! 

 

Skills Needed

• Basic Computer Skills (if you can type, have an internet connection and a web browser, you're set!)

 

Materials Needed 

• an email address you can use to sign up for Wordpress and Flickr accounts if you do not already have them.
• Recommended: a laptop with wireless capability so that you can follow along in class and set up your blog as we go.  

 

If you don't wish to bring a laptop, I'll be posting a tutorial right here on this page so that you can remind yourself of the material from class as you set up your blog at home.
