Have you ever fancied writing a blog but haven’t known where to start?
Did you know a checkout girl called Anna Sam in France got a book, and a film, deal on the back of writing a blog?
Do you find all this Internet technology overwhelming & it all leaving you behind?
Do you want to spend a day to find out how to create and publish interactive, dynamic looking web pages?
Well, you can find out how to do this and much, much more the 1 day Unleash the Blog Inside You workshop.
In just one day you will not only learn how to self-publish your own content on the Internet but also find out how to create and maintain a blog that stands out from the rest.

- How to write a ‘page’
- How to write a post

“After thrashing around for months previously with two false starts,your approach to the subject was dynamic, creative and inspirational. I left at the end of the day knowing how to use WordPress.” - Jayne Owen
“Your training was exemplary. You delivered in a spirit of fun and generosity. It seemed that nothing was too much trouble.” - Liz Labrum
“The one great tip was about the ‘fold line’. Like all great tips it’s obvious once you’ve been told it, but not so obvious when you have to work it out for yourself.“ – Mary Waring
“Unleash the Blog came at exactly the right time in my life. Just the title motivated me over my basic block – that a blog would be a weight around my neck. Through the pre-tasking process I found Tom’s excellent Wordlube e-book, which gave me permission to consolidate my morning writing routine into a proper ‘job’ – another block overcome. The technical level was pitched exactly right for me.” - Sally Relton-Shakespeare
