First Training Session

We had the first training session on blogging today... which was... "interesting".

Unfortunately the weather threw the whole thing into chaos - I was late in, and Paula couldn't make it in at all. Given that Paula was looking after the bulk of the training on Blogger, that was a bit of a problem!

Between trying to work out what we needed to cover on the fly, and trying to solve the various problems and questions that came up - well, it wasn't easy and it certainly wasn't the smoothest training session I've ever delivered.

I think we kind of got there in the end - we covered the basics of getting a blog started, adding a page, adding a post, and inserting links and images.

That's just about enough for people to be able to blog themselves - though we didn't talk about adding labels/tags, and we didn't get to look at WordPress. I'm also terribly worried that I've confused everyone who was there!

That said, everyone will be able to read through the PDF guide - which I hope I've managed to make far more clear than this morning's session!

  1. Sorry I wasn't there; did my PowerPoint presentation help?

  2. Ric, great job in the circumstances. Emma and I took nearly 2 hours to do 4 miles going Itchen Bridge way. There are some spaces for Thursday, so probably room for anyone who attended Friday and wanted to repeat session. I'll send an email out tomorrow.
