Last call! The next Blogging 101 class begins Monday.

New to blogging? Build a solid foundation — and make some new friends — in Blogging 101.

New to blogging, and not sure where to start? Never fear, Blogging 101 is here! Fun and free, the next edition of our popular introductory course begins on Monday, January 5 — read on for the details and to register.

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:

  • 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 closed, but Blogging 101 will be back in February!

  1. I’m incredibly excited to start this class. I’ve been meaning to begin a blog for a few years and struggle with having the courage to share my content with the world. I think I could really benefit from this course. Also, I look forward to meeting all of you fellow bloggers! 🙂

  2. this is really awesome, especially because i literally JUST started blogging .. i only have a few posts! so i’m really happy that i saw this because i’m more than a beginner, and although my blog has no specific topic [it’s really just an online journal .. but that’s okay, because that’s what i want!] except the fact that’s it’s a journal, i know that PLENTY of blogs are just like that, and they’re successful! i really hope your class helps my blog become a blog like these. thanks!!

    1. 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).

    1. It means that you’ll get less peer feedback from the other participants, but that’s about it; you can do all the assignments in whatever language you choose. Note that the assignments themselves will all be in English.

  17. Yo – I’m keen to join, but every time I click the “take the survey” button, it says that it can’t confirm it’s a safe page and won’t let me through. What shall I do?

  19. Happy New Year Fellow Bloggers! I have put off blogging way too long out of fear and my own limiting beliefs. So I decided to start the year off right. I’m here, but now what??? Yikes!!! lol. Thanks so much for offering this course. Just registered but I was wondering if it takes place at a set time or if we can complete the assignments on our own schedule?

  23. Do you think it would be appropriate for someone who has a blog (like, for five years) and who so wants to get back into it again after not writing for a few years? I know a lot of the basics, but some of the other stuff (creating traffic) might be helpful.
