Academic Blogging: Blogging to build your professional profile

Please note: This workshop will now take place online using BlackBoard Collaborate. 

This workshop will introduce you to the University’s Academic Blogging Service and provide an overview of the benefits of professional blogging, writing for blogs, understanding privacy, copyright and open licensing, and how to amplify your blog with social media.

The workshop will also guide participants through the process of setting up a new blog on blogs.ed.ac.uk.

Links to additional support resources and course will be provided.

This workshop will not cover the technicalities of using WordPress. The Academic Blogging Service has a Help and Support page with links to tutorials, videos and documentation that we recommend viewing if you are new to WordPress.
