Southbank Bristol Arts

Here’s a post for all of those who are not familiar with blogs (short for web logs) or “just don't get them”. Some of you will know about these already, but for those who don’t, this is for you. I'm posting this as a member news post and member blogs post as it applies to both of them.

Before you ignore this altogether, or decide that these things aren’t for you, please have a look at this excellent video on the Common Craft website by Lee LeFever, who explains Blogs in Plain English (it's also available on YouTube).

I’d just like to add that a thorough reading of any instructions we give is going to be your best friend. They may seem long or scary to some of you, but that is because they are thorough (hopefully) rather than complex. It’s a few clicks and some information to type (or copy and paste).
