Blogging Basics: Intro to Blogging class
Learn the blogging basics or step up and discover the benefits of the blogosphere in the new blogging classes at LVS Online. Bean has modified her popular Blogging for Fun, Fame and Fortune classes into two distinct offerings. The first course Blogging Basics, covers the nuts and bolts of blogging. It is designed as an introductory blogging course and is suited for personal and professional blogs. We be using the WordPress blogging platform for our examples and demos, but other platforms will be mentioned.
Blogging for Fun, Fame and Fortune: Promote your blog
The second course, the revised Blogging for Fun, Fame and Fortune class will function as more of a blogging studio and is in response to students requesting a “lifetime membership”. Although it is really easy to start blogging, once you begin you can see how how multi-faceted it is. You can take your blog in many differnt directions or choose from a wide assortment of goals. You can evolve and refine your blog posts from good to compelling. You can gain an appeciative audience as you gain authority. You gain authority from participation. Although the core context of the course will remain the same from session, each session the students will have the opportunity to make choices about what type of template modification we will tackle or which social networking site we want to explore in detail. In November session we might devote time and attention to Blog Catalog and changing CSS styles in our templates. In January, we might focus on Weblog and modifying what appears with each post on our home page.
Blogger’s Studio to build content and community for you blog
This Blogging for Fun, Fame and Fortune class is designed for those that really want to promote their Word Press blog for professional gain or personal satisfaction. Students can take it once or sign up repeatedly for their “lifetime membership”. Students will learn from the lessons, instructor examples and more importantly from each other as they support and offer each other feedback and information.

I keep thinking, how can I find another class that will encourage and teach exactly what you have just outlined for this Bloggers’ Studio.
I’m doing the yippee wahoo dance!
So thank you. Bless you. And where can I send the wine and chocolates? Big hug!

Yea! Yippie!
I’m signed up! This will be my 3rd time. And I’m still catching up!
I’ve signed up too. SO glad you have split the classes Bean! Even working at it very nearly to the exclusion of all else these last weeks, I have got way behind.
I’m registered. Thanks, Bean. This is great news! I love your description above, including the ideas for the November session. And the Studio atmosphere is appealing…

This sounds a lot of fun Bean. I will certainly do it, but must do something more pertinent to my work next term.
Wendy, I think focusing on our own blogs is the thrust of Bean’s new class. Between now and then, I’ll be working to build content — something you already have!
See you there…
I want this class! I’ll have to wait because my schedule is full.
