Bloom with Blogging

Get exclusive input and inspiration from two passionate bloggers on how to start your own blog.

Do you want to:

• Explore your creative talent?
• Involve family and friends back home in your life abroad through your own media?
• Share and exchange your experiences with other expats locally or worldwide?
• Create a network of like-minded expats, photo nerds, flower enthusiasts or others.

All of this is possible through blogging. Blogging is a web-based journal that allows you to express whatever you want and share it with others.

On this workshop you will learn:

• Why blogging is a great idea
• How to set up your own blog
• And how to attract readers

This workshop is for those of you who:

• Want to become part of a growing, specific and inspiring network on the internet
• Are looking for a forum to address special issues, concerns or interests
• Dream of your own creative playground in cyber space

The workshop will enable you to:

• Enter cyber space in a trustful and personal way
• Express yourself with your unique voice
• Transform your thoughts into deep, fun, beautiful or simply personal descriptions of your life, your interests or passions
