Non-bloggers: Were you so inspired by the awesome display of blogging might Wednesday night that you're determined to start your own blog? If so, you're in luck: Chris of Mancubist and I are running two blogging workshops aimed at total beginners*.
(*You should know how to use a computer. You should know how to use a mouse and how to navigate the internet with it. But that's about it.)
Two sessions:
Saturday 22 November, 10-12am Gorton Library
Saturday 29 November 10-12am Crumpsall Library
And... we're doing something new this year: a blog lab. It's an open surgery for people who are already blogging but want some help making their blog all shiny and exciting. Drop in and we'll show you how to pimp it up with the freshest widgets, and also give you some ideas for new and startling things you can do with your content.
Saturday 8 November, 1-3pm
Manchester Digital Development Agency, Portland Street
(drop in whenever you like during the session, but please let us know you’re coming.)
The workshops and blog lab are free, but numbers are limited so please book. You can ring the Literature Festival office at 0161 236 5555 or email admin AT manchesterliteraturefestival.co.uk. Please let us know when booking if you have any accessibility needs.
The blog lab sounds good, but I'm in the wrong city that day. I hope someone takes notes!
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteAh, good to see you still pushing the importance of blogging as a form. There was something at BBC online about Twitter being the new thang and blogging being so last year. Well, judging by the success of the awards methinks tales of our death are both premature and exaggerated.
