The topic of the May 21 Social Media Lab is blogging. Blogs are a key component to not only social media, but also search engine optimization.
Google makes an effort to present the most current information available for a search request. The most current information usually isn’t a static website. It’s most often a blog. So by blogging on your site, you are making your site more “relevant”.
This Lab will teach you:
- How to setup a blog
- How to select and install themes
- Plugins and widgets to make your blog work for you
- Feeding your blog to your website
Friday, May 21
1 pm to 4 pm (it’s okay to come late or leave early if you need to)
Spill the Beanz Coffee Shop
Plaza Palomino Shopping Center
Ft. Lowell and Swan
Bring your laptop and $20.
If you don’t have a blog already, you might want to go to wordpress.org and create a free blog before the class (if you’re not sure how to do it, make sure you have a way to get to your email at the class)
Another helpful hint – if you are adding your blog to your own website, bring your web server login information with you to the lab.
