Learning Blogger
Blogging and Blogger are entirely new to me. I honestly never thought I would get into it (I've never enjoyed writing). The natural first step has been to dive into a few tutorial videos to learn how to use Blogger. Based on the number of views, I selected two recently posted videos: a short, quick introduction and a longer, in-depth overview. I found the short tutorial helpful for learning how to set up my blog and make a few customizations, such as selecting a theme, changing the primary photo, and basics of creating my first post. The second tutorial I found goes much more in-depth, diving into topics I'm not sure will be necessary for this course, including earning income with ads (AdSense), setting up/linking a website, and Google Analytics. Despite not intending to use some of these features, at least for now, it was an interesting learning opportunity. This might be a tutorial I review in the future, as my blog becomes more established and I want to continue growing my blogging skills. For now, I'm content with customizing my theme and primary photo. If you're new to blogging, I've linked both videos below. Hopefully, you will find them as helpful as I have!
Hi Julia! I am also new to blogging. Honestly, I felt a bit uneasy about starting this new adventure. Then, I decided that it will give a chance to practice my writing skill, which is something I have been wanting to do for a while.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the two YouTube videos. I watched the first one and found a feature I did not know about.
Looking forward to your next post.
Thanks for sharing these. I'm going to incorporate them into the class (with the hat tip to you!).
ReplyDeleteHey! I just wanted to say thank you for this! I am fairly new to blogging as well, and it can feel like learning a foreign language. These tips are helpful! I am quite excited about the freedom we have to make our blogs whatever we want them to be!
