J2150 Lab 1: Intro to blogging

The skills you learn in this class will allow publish messages on multiple platforms. This is important whether you’re covering a news event, a feature story, writing scripts, press releases or using sound with still photography and video. See information about Week 1 here.

You'll be publishing two blogs each week and tweeting those to @MultimediaRice. You can tweet those to me too at @Mediatingmimi. Be sure to add the hash tag #J2150 and your section letter to each tweet (Section C: #J2150C).

You can use WordPress to set up a blogging site after watching the tutorial on Lynda.com. You should have received an email about Lynda.com earlier this week. You are welcome to use a pre-exisiting blog if you have one but be aware the blog will be public. Also, if you have not already, set up a Twitter account. Also follow these twitter links.

After you have set up a site and Twitter account please email me with the web address for and twitter handle at perreaultm@missouri.edu.  Please put J2150 Blog and your name in the subject line.

In your blogs try to include links to other blogs, newsites, multimedia work, photos, and other things you think the class might enjoy.
