Blogs are a great outlet for communicating research findings and the day to day of a scientific career to a non-expert audience. But setting up your own blog can be tricky. What is the best platform to use? And once the blog is set-up how do you troubleshoot common problems? Aside from the practicalities, building a loyal readership is just as important, as is producing regular, engaging content. This short course will explore the basics of blogging with Wordpress as well as tips and tricks for building a strong online presence.


This short course is aimed at the EGU Network and Division Bloggers, but open to any others interested too.
