Photoshop was very tricky to work with. I couldn’t attend the class and so I had to figure out it myself. However, I felt like I learned some new tricks and can maybe use Photoshop in the future and learn more about it. I think it is a somewhat complicated programme to use, but once you get the hang of it it becomes a valuable tool.

The importance of LinkedIn is nowadays highlighted everywhere. It seems like no matter where you go every employer branding specialist, HR professional and managers are using LinkedIn to find headhunt new employees.

When I joined LinkedIn years ago, it felt like everyone had a profile in LinkedIn, but no one really used it that much. Since then, the use of LinkedIn has changed a lot, and a lot of my connections are very active on the platform, and they post, share and comment things constantly.

I believe in the future LinkedIn will me even more significant and managers will find more potential employees there. Just existing in LinkedIn is not enough though, in order to be noticed people have to be active and share their thoughts.

Hi All! This is my first post here on my blog. After the first couple of weeks I already feel like I’ve learned a lot. At first, WordPress seemed complicated and a little outdated, but I’ve gotten the hang of it now. I have to say, I think knowing blog tools will be very useful in the future working life. For example, the company I did my work placement in, had a blog about its employees, events and other news. Even though blogs are currently being overthrown by videos in my opinion, I believe in working life blogs are still very much on trend.

During this course I wish to learn more about ICT. Throughout my studies ICT courses have always been my favourite, and I feel like they’re the most useful in work life. Especially now when I’m close to graduation, I have to start thinking about my future and work. I’m also very excited about the LinkedIn part of this course, because even though I do use it, I’m sure I’m not utilising it as well as possible.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
