Introduction to Blogging Software
WordPress, Blogging Platform of Choice?
This session (one often offered on Aim Higher days), offers a practical overview of the WordPress software. WordPress is a blogging platform that is very simple to use at a basic level (although offers great functionality if you have the time to engage with the advanced features).
What will I learn in this session?
By the end of the session participants will:
- Have set up a WordPress.com account, and altered some key settings.
- Created an ‘About’ Page
- Created their first blog post, including headings, text and images.
- Commented on a colleague’s blog
- Have been introduced to ‘themes’.
What equipment do I need?
Please think before the session what you could blog about – your professional or research interests are the most likely, but you may find it easier to start blogging about a personal hobby.
