Today's class we were going over the blogs that we each have to make. Seems we all got them set up but for one which is alright for we all helped her out. Also we had to make sure we had the important CWS sites placed into our blog lists. This way its easy to get to them and find them.
Then we went through those within class and checked out each others blogs. Mine of course has more to it since I started it back last month before I got ill and ended up dropping out to tend to my health.

**Attend Saturday's Fashion Show at 3pm slt or a Styling Event and blog it. Your post should have all elements of what we discussed today. The list is your guide to writing an awesome post. Yay :D
**Make sure you have all required gadgets and you are following CWS blogs and your fellow students blogs.
1. Write with the reader in mind. This is the most important aspect when writing any piece. You ALWAYS keep your audience in mind while writing your post. In this case, most of your readers will be CWS group members, your trainers, Anrol, and your fellow students. Think about what you look for when reading something online. You want to know what’s in it for you..right? Most people, whether they are looking for entertainment, information, or instructions, want to know right away how this will benefit them, so keep in mind that your readers will read your post looking for what’s in it for them.
2. Keep it short and simple. Lots of people like to skim over content, and while you may have a lot to say, remember the majority of your readers are people who don’t have a lot of time. Get to your point quickly. Publishing short posts is frequently better than long drawn out posts. With this in mind, I’m looking for posts that reflect you
3. Write like you talk. Everyone has the ability to write, especially for blogs. Write your posts as though you are talking with a friend. It’s called your “voice,” so write in a way that is true to who you are.
4. Use spell check. Luckily blogger has a spell check option. Spell check is your friend! While spell check will not catch the grammatical errors, it should pick up the majority of spelling errors. In addition, before you hit the publish button, read your post out loud to see if it makes sense, and often you will pick up some sentence structure mishaps and can fix those before you publish your post.
5. Link often. Your links to other blogs and websites also helps you build a network of associates who will in turn link to your blog.
6. Use keywords often. This will help you stay on topic, and as your blog grows, search engines will love it and your rankings will go up. Keywords throughout your posts are simply words like “second life fashion,” “modeling,” or “Classic W/Style” are some examples. If you use popular words that many people may be searching for, the more often your keywords show up, and in turn, the better your search engine results will be.
7. Use a clear title. Don’t mislead your readers, and use a title that has nothing to do with your post. Use whatever you want in your title, but try and use key words in your titles so your blog will have awesome search engine results.
**Make sure you have all required gadgets and you are following CWS blogs and your fellow students blogs.
