Learn how to create, manage, and promote your own blog using WordPress. Create a blog using the free web-based tool called WordPress.com, and learn how to start blogging effectively.

The course will examine some existing blogs and figure out what makes them successful. You'll learn the best ways to find blogs on topics that interest you and how to use blogs to express yourself, teach or even promote a product.

The course is hands-on and over the sessions you'll learn to use WordPress to build a blog.

Note that this class looks at the process of setting up a blog and in using Wordpress as a tool to achieve this. If you would prefer to use Wordpress to create a website you may wish to look at the City Lit courses "Build a Website in a day with WordPress" or "WordPress:introduction" before choosing a course to attend.
