Ken's Training Blog
Exploring content, format and sharing ideas on a blog
Interesting: how Coca Cola use their social media strategy
Whatever you think of the beverage, it's useful to see how a large company works to get 'local and personal'...
Demo: posting text to a Posterous blog
Here's an example of sending a text email to the Posterous email address, with just text and information.
Format the text in the email just as you would in a Word document - bold, italic etc, and that formatting will appear in the blog post. Great for quick updates...
Demo: emailing a photo to your Posterous blog
This photo was emailed from a PC, or could be sent straight from your phone if you can send email with it. Great for quick posts and spontaneous blogging. It was sent to the posterous email address provided, and it recognised which blog to put it in by the email address it came from (ie yours). You can set your posterous account up to receive posts from more than one email eg your work email and a Hotmail or Gmail address.
Once you've sent a photo, you can always edit or add to the words on the site - or delete the post entirely!
Adding links to a blog post
Example of putting in a link to the Modern Wedding blog. Here's a great book on brides.
Demo: showing a Powerpoint on your blog
Using the Slideshare online service - first upload a Powerpoint to Slideshare (go to the link at the bottom of the example below) then use the Embed code to place it in your post - simple!
Flashmob at Vancouver Olympics 2010
Crazy street scenes by cold Canadians - this is where we posted a YouTube video using the Embed code beside the original video on YouTube.
