There's a chill in the air...

Despite this evening's chill, the light rain, the early dark, I'm enjoying this evening's endeavours.

Too Blog or not to Blog

Just a quick entry to see that it works in all colours

EEEk! It works!

I am pleased to know that I can follow directions and find myself in a completely new realm of internet communication. I was an early internet user but have not kept up to date with blogs, YouTube, 2nd Life, etc...it all seems so, so...well, virtual.

I want real. Is that too much to ask from a digital environment?

Looking forward to the workshop tonight,

Cheers, Evalee Smith

Prior to the 4th Blogging workshop...

If you are one of the lucky people attending the booked-out workshop on Wednesday 8 November congratulations. Leading up to the workshop each day we will be posting some suggestions for you to consider prior to attending the workshop.

However, before you start thinking about the content of your blog, lets start with the real basics. Wikipedia link talks about the history of blogs since 1994, and what they have be used for over time.

If you are aware of websites about blogs that others might find useful - why not leave a comment and share your suggestions.

The workshop is on again!
