Published: Mon, 09/04/17

Hello!

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Summer Challenge: it's been great to read about all the writing that you've been doing. :-)

I'll be drawing the Grand Prize tomorrow (to give any stragglers time to check-in for Week 6), so if you haven't checked-in yet, now's your last chance:


Remember, you need at least 5 out of 6 check-ins to be eligible for the Grand Prize.



In today's email:

  - No chatroom discussion this week



 
One Year Ago: How To Set Up Your Website with Wordpress.com

Last year, our September seminar was a detailed guide to setting up a website for your writing via Wordpress.com, one of the most popular platforms for launching your first site.

You can get the audio, transcript and worksheet below:


The seminar covered:
  • Why you might need a website for your writing
  • Choosing a name or brand for a website
  • Possible methods or hosting solutions for your first site
  • Setting up a website on WordPress.com, step by step
  • Planing content for your new website
You can discuss the seminar on the forums here:
 
Summer Challenge: Final Week!
Congratulations to Shona, the Week Six prize winner.

If you forgot to check-in for Week Six, now's your last chance, as I'll be announcing the Grand Prize winner tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.




There's also an "aftermath" thread on the forum so you can share the highs (and lows) of how it went for you ... and what you've got planned next:
 
Thursday chats continue NEXT WEEK

I'm away this Thursday (I'll be in a field, camping, with very little electricity let alone internet access...) so there won't be a chatroom discussion this Thursday.

We'll resume on Thursday 14th, and I'll let you know the topic for that chat, plus upcoming ones, next week. :-)
 

​​​​​Happy writing!
