Abstract:

This presentation will introduce participants to blogging as a writing/publishing platform for sharing scholarly work. The presenter will share insights into what it takes to create and sustain a successful blog. She also will show how to set up a blog in one or more common (and free) platforms.

Description:

Is blogging for me? Can publishing a blog extend the reach and value of my scholarly work and service? Can a blog be used to create global conversations about my research/expertise - or a private space for thinking? This workshop will introduce blogging as a valuable platform for communication, engagement, and reaching out to new audiences. In addition to discussing what a blog is and how it can built successfully, the presenter will demonstrate how to set up a site in one or more common blogging platforms. Bring your laptop - and your blog idea - to launch your blogging life.
