HND Creative Media Industries - Session 1 - Setting Up Your Blog

Because all your work for me this year is written, I would like all of your work for me this year  to be in blog form. A blog is simply an online space in which you can write articles or 'posts'. These posts can contain imagery and enable the embedding of video and audio links as well. Today I want you to set up two blogs. One will contain all your work for the unit you'll be working on from now until Xmas.  It's where I'll see your work, where you'll spend time finessing/perfecting it, and perhaps also where I'll be giving you feedback and guidance.
