Do you have an interest in food--maybe a great idea for a great food blog--but no idea how to get your work out there? In this class, successful blogger Sarah Lohman of Four Pounds Flour will teach you the nuts and bolts of launching a food blog. We'll solidify your concept and launch a WordPress blog as well as discuss design and how to format a blog post. Then, you'll start writing your first post before and work on taking great food photographs. You'll get a primer on Photoshop and social media, so you can create a community around your new blog. By the end of our time together, you'll have launched a blog, and have a sense of what career paths it could take you down--or how to keep your blog going, just for fun! 

This is an in-depth, four-hour workshop that will included brainstorming, writing, and workshopping. As a group, we'll strengthen your ideas, aesthetic, and skills. Whether you are starting your blog from scratch, or you're interested in improving a current blog, this class is for you.

class size: 12, bring a laptop + digital camera (phones are great)!
