WSU Advance Blogging Class

On December 3, 2008 Jaci, Virginia, Rita and I, all attended an advanced blogging class. During this class we learned many things such as uploading photos and editing them. How to organize our website. What kind of events we should add to the site, and things such as where to locate and how to put things where we want them. The class was very helpful and taught us many new things.
