Blogging

Hi guys this post is about how to start a blog. The next session will be next Tueday. I hope to concentrate on the more technical side of creating a blog and adding images, video etc.

The blog we're going to look at is
Tumblr.com
This is a website that allows you to create a 'Tumble Blog'. The difference between a norma blog and a tumble blog are explained here: http://www.tumblr.com/faqs

So the first thing to do is goto Tumblr.com and press the button that says, 'Start your own in 30 sec.'
Follow the on screen instructions to start your blog. For now that's all I want you to do. If you want and can follow the instructions and add some posts. However on Tuesday we will look at how to add media, links and customise your blog. We will also look at how to use web browser tools to quickly add intersting media as well as your own.
