Welcome to the Blogging Workshop Wiki!

• As suggested by That Girl this Wiki is for asking questions about blogs and providing answers. There are no stupid questions. As questions increase we can split this into more categories.

• Basics

• [What is a blog?]
• [How do I navigate a blog if I've never seen one before?]

• Blogging software/platforms - What's out there
  • Use your own domain - myWebsite.com
  • Hosted i.e. Typepad, Blogger, Blogspot, Wordpress, Blogsome, blogs.ie

• General Blogging Terms
  • Tags and Tagging
  • Trackbacks and pings
  • Comments and Commenting
  • What is a style sheet
  • How do I change the template on my blog
  • Controlling and managing spam
  • What is bandwidth
  • Help me make sense of my stats!
  • [How do I get my blog "out" there - generating traffic]

• Wordpress
  • Installing Wordpress
  • Wordpress Templates
  • Fighting Spam with Wordpress

• Installing Wordpress
• Movable Type

• Installing and maintaining MT
• MT Templates and changing them - see above

• Photoblogs

• How do I set up a photoblog on my existing blog
• How do I get a new photoblog to look like my existing blog

• Legal Thingies

I'm sure I could arrange a short easy q & a on this if people were interested- also for people as stumped as I was, when the wiki asks you for a password, it wants you to say jamtart. Then it will let you make your changes.
