Earn a Professional Blogging Diploma from Ashworth College

Did you know that you can get a Professional Blogging Career Diploma from an accredited college? It’s true!    Ashworth College is an online institution that provides instruction and support services for students looking to learn how to create, publish, manage and promote a blog, vlog, podcast or webcast. 

 

I started blogging in 2005. I created my first blog by going to blogger.com and signing up. The first time I looked at the New Post page, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Back then, blogs were much simpler, but it still took me asking my readers a ton of questions for me to be able to figure out how to do anything. The first time I successfully made a link, I was so excited a wrote a post about it!  It took me months to figure out how to code an image in my sidebar that linked to the correct page. It was a lot of hard trial and error.

 

Without the generous support and help of other bloggers who had already figured all those things out, I don’t know if I would have even continued blogging. And now I have three blogs that I maintain by myself, blogs that make me money that helps us pay bills or take little vacations or pay for unexpected repairs. I’m proud of how far I have come, but now that I think about it, if I were starting my first blog today and there was a way to learn the latest blogging techniques from experienced instructors? I would definitely consider studying it first before diving right in!

 

I would have saved myself months of trial and error if I had learned how to blog before I actually started the blog. I think someone who is interested in blogging, who wants their site to have video and slideshows and images should consider something like this program from Ashworth. Kids today, so lucky to have this opportunity!
