Have you ever wanted to start a blog, but were too reluctant because you don’t have writing skills?

In this talk, I’ll share different types of blogs you can start that can be fun, authentic and engaging to your audience – even if you’re not a traditional blog writer. Starting with WordPress as our platform, we’ll talk about picture blogs, poetry blogs, vlogging, blogs that showcase your favorite things and so much more. I’ll visually demonstrate some simple examples of what those blogs could look like, then take you step-by-step with simple instructions you can use to start a blog today!
