This course is for small designers or design-based businesses. The topics covered may be amended, depending on participants' experience and requirements. If you already have a blog, I will review this in advance of the course. This course will be a small group in a relaxed setting, with time for discussion and a break. Refreshments will be provided. Please note that my speciality is design-based blogs. Please contact me if you would like more information or if you would like to suggest a different date.

This course will be held at my home - exact address will not be disclosed until registration. For individuals, a more mutually convenient location may be possible. I recommend taking this course in the group setting as networking is an important part of blogging.

A list of recommended blogs will be given for review before the course. Most of the teaching will be off-line.

I have a blog, Tea for Joy, which has over 3,000 subscribed readers. I have a small retail business which sells stationery from independent designers, and have promoted this successfully through my own and other blogs.
