What is RSS?

How on earth do I put a photo on my blog?

But if you use words like “embed” images, you’ll convince me this is an advanced course.

But what a great course to be running, so needed.

Keith, The focus on RSS at the beginning is a good idea. Understanding RSS is absolutely fundamental to understanding the power of blogs. On the images, it hadn’t occurred to me but it is a great idea. I’ll work it in. I’ll show people how to use Flickr to embed images, however as this seems like a simple way to do it to me (as well as saving on disk and bandwidth).

Mary, I would certainly consider running this in Dublin, as well if there was sufficient demand.

Any chance you could arrange for the same course in Dublin? There was some discussion around the blog awards time from people who would like this. I can provide the venue.

Looks good. I have tendered to run blog training here in Kilkenny with the CEB - here are the main elements I will be covering:

* Please explain what a blog is! (and why they are different from an internet site)
* RSS feeds – why they go hand in hand with blogs
* RSS feedreaders
* Some good examples of blogs. And some bad ones
* Setup your own blog.
* Etiquette
* Blog search engines
* Blog software tools
* Imaging for blogs

So you have podcasting and I have Imaging for Blogs! The latter might be good for you - mine is just 15-30 minutes on reducing jpgs in size and definition using IrfanView. (I have not considered Mac’s yet - I will based on demand). As for podcasting I cannot offer that as I do not do it - and I suspect that may be a step too far for my audience anyways.

If you are interested we can swap material? I do not have dates for mine yet - should I get it the delivery is over two evenings with 2.5 hours per night.
