2012 Speaker: Angelique

Title: Crafting an effective blog post: It’s not just about the words (but we’ll cover those, too!)
Even the best writers will be ignored if they don’t pay attention to the layout, graphics, SEO and shareability of their blog posts. And if your expertise isn’t writing? Then you have to take extra care with your words, too! This mini-workshop will explain the most important features of effective blogs: physical readability, graphics, writing with sharing in mind, writing with SEO in mind, and finally, the words! Lots of helpful images, and some fun exercises to help you understand and apply my advice.
