Hello (new) world!
“Welcome to E-learning and Digital Cultures 2013. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!”
Well, this is certainly a new skill to develop, getting into WordPress, very useful indeed as by happy coincidence the day job (finally) brings an opportunity at the same time to develop a research blog for an academic community. After months of trying to persuade colleagues this may be a useful tool for sharing discussion and project development, I am about to take the plunge….
As far as this week is concerned, I intend to try out the dashboard, read some help files (no doubt I get myself in a twist) and basically take the lead (initially) from the features of this graphic-friendly tool (it’s like digital mascara), and let it take its course.
Perhaps the WP features will affect my thoughts?
Well, we on the programme are big fans of WordPress for all kinds of things. I met one of the developers of buddypress (the plugin that makes the Hub social-networky) last summer and was properly excited about it. He, on the other hand, though I was a bit odd.
