Description
While blogs have been around for a long time now, we all know that some are great and others leave us cold.
With millions of them published every week, the question is, why add to the clutter? To put your unique knowledge and voice out into the world, that's why.
Whether you're doing a blog for business purposes or creative fun, there are ways to make yours stand out from the crowd.
This workshop is not a technical guide to setting up a site, because many online outfits such as Wix, Weebly and WordPress have step-by-step guides to help you get established.
Instead, this session is about the guts of your blog - content creation, writing style, editing, headline writing and visual appeal.
If you're already blogging, you can write pieces to add to your current site. And it's fine to be a newbie too. As a future blogger, you can create material to take home for inclusion in a site you're planning to build later on. No experience necessary.
You can work either with pen and paper, on your own laptop, or on one of the college's PCs (just bring along a USB memory stick for saving your work to take home).
