In this second workshop on blogging basics presented by the Jazz Journalists Association, you’ll learn how to make your blog look better by choosing and customizing a blog theme/template, how to enhance your posts with links, photos and videos; and  how to improve your site by adding sidebar “widgets” and static (permanent, non-blog) pages as well as how to set a commenting policy for your blog.


Workshop Topics
  • Choosing a blog template/theme
  • Finding and using photos/video in your posts (w/ a few legal considerations)
  • Better linking
  • What should I put in my sidebar/static pages? 
  • Comments: Getting them, monitoring them
This session is for you if you’ve already started to blog but want to learn new skills and begin to develop your blog audience. It will provide information of use to anyone who blogs, though it is oriented toward individuals, especially arts journalists and writers, who want to blog for professional purposes and arts organizations that want to use blogs for promotion or education.  

Workshop instructor JoAnn Kawell  is the Media Director and Online Administrator for the Jazz Journalists Association. She is a long-time journalist, writer and editor who creates and consults on websites and blogs via her company Ozmotic Media.
