Thing 4: Write your first blog post

Sunshine project at Mottisfont
If you have logged out of your blog log in again.

If you are using Wordpress click on the New Post link on the blue ribbon at the top of the screen (towards the right hand side) and then click on the Text option.

If you are using Blogger click on the Pen icon on the grey ribbon at the top of the screen (on the left hand side)

Your blog is an opportunity for you to reflect on the Things you are exploring so give your Post a title eg 
My first post 
or 
Wordle, QR codes and Blogs -some thoughts 

and write what you think of the things you've explored so far:
  • were the tools easy to use?
  • where have you seen them being used at work and in the wider world?
  • might you use them in the future at work or at home? 
  • were the instructions  too frustrating to follow? 
When you have written your post preview it, make any changes you want, and then Publish your post

We don't expect you to be able to upload images to your blog when you are working on NHS pcs.


Bear in mind that once you post something online, you can't always take it back. Don't post comments, photos or videos that may cause embarrassment, and never post comments that are abusive or may cause offence.

  1. A colleague has commented on the instructions for creating your first post when using Wordpress:
    I found that you can’t create a new post on the pearly grey page even though there is a link to “new post”, you have to click on the logo + username dropdown that appears under your picture, and THEN you get a page that is actually readable and has a “New Post” button! Their instructions don’t mention this.
