I teach several classes at my local university's ed. outreach department. For the fall semester, I am putting together a 2 day workshop for those who want to start a blog - Blogging for Beginners.
We'll cover what a blog is, how it is different from a website, setting it up here on the blogger platform, choosing a template, changing it a bit, how to make a post, link images and text and embed video.
Then in the next class, we'll cover the readership goals of your blog - how to set them and how to achieve them. How to write good posts, posting frequency, commenting on other blogs, getting your readers engaged, advertising your blog and so on. Sounds fairly useful so far, but it has just occurred to me that I am missing something here... the collected wisdom of ALL OF YOU, my friends here in the blogosphere!

Broadcast your blogging tips to newbies!If you were brand new blogging and took this workshop over two Saturdays with other folks who were similarly inexperienced.. what would you want the instructor to cover given the gift of hindsight regarding what you know now that you have been at it for some time. I need to turn this in by May 1st, so please.. post away!
