Ready to get your new blog off to a great start (or kick-start your old one)? Blogging 101 returns on Monday, January 5.
New to blogging? A new session of our introductory blogging course starts on Monday, January 5 — and all bloggers are welcome, whether you blog on WordPress.com, a self-hosted WordPress blog, or somewhere else entirely.
Blogging 101 is four weeks of daily bite-size assignments that take you from “Blog?” to “Blog!” — along with a supportive community to encourage you all the way through. At the end of the course, you’ll have a blog you’re proud and excited to publish, and that others are excited to read. Here’s how it works:
My blog has gone from being dull and plain to having widgets and all this shmancy tech stuff, and from having almost no followers to having a loyal following now!
– Microgalactic
-
Assignments fall into three broad categories — publishing posts and pages, customizing your blog, and engaging with the community — and are designed to build on one another.
- We’ll post a new assignment here on The Daily Post each weekday at 12AM GMT. Each assignment will contain all the inspiration and instructions you need to complete it. Weekends are free (but we’ll suggest some ways you might want to spend them).
- Participants will have a private community site, the Commons, for chatting, connecting, and seeking feedback and support. Daily Post staff and Happiness Engineers will be on hand to answer your questions and offer guidance and resources.
You’ll walk away with six (or more!) published posts and a handful of drafts, a customized theme that reflects your personality, a small but growing audience, a good grasp of blogging etiquette — and a bunch of new online friends.
Registration is now closed, but Blogging 101 returns in February!
Currently blogless? You’re a click away from sharing your story.

Looking forward to it!

If you look at this post on a computer (eg, not a tablet/phone), you’ll see a short form right in the post — just fill that out.

It’s the “s” in the “https” triggering a warning in your browser — you can either just delete the “s” (it’s totally safe, I promise), or fill out the form right in this post instead (eg, by visiting the post on The Daily Post rather than using the link in the email).

How do I sign up? I thought it might be through taking the survey but I had a possible hacking message come up when I tried and so pressed the button ‘back to safety’ and therefore didn’t do the survey.

That link will open the sign up form, or you can fill out the one that’s embedded right in this post, when you’re viewing it on a computer (vs. phone).

I’m obviously not going to fill anything in on an insecure site, although I’m interested in your course. I reckon I’ll give blogging a wgirl anyway.
