“I suggest that online and geographically dispersed communities coalesce around a shared desire for
"knowledge". People come together because they care about specific information, they want to acquire more information,
they want to connect with others with similar interests, and/or they want to share their knowledge with others.”

Blogging 101: Zero to HeroGet grounded in blogging basics.
Blogging 101 is three weeks of bite-size blogging assignments that take you from “Blog?” to “Blog!”
Quotes from Attendees“I still can’t believe how far my blog has come…I know I would not have done it without this course and the support and encouragement of this community.”
“I kept my blog a secret even from my friends at first, like a guilty pleasure, eventually letting those closest to me in through a cautious selection process. But this course has opened up the world to me! With meaningful interactions with other novices and more practiced bloggers! Looking forward to each new lesson and opportunity to grow and learn!”
“THIS.100% this. It is what I love about web-communities.”

BU201 Quotes“It is good to be here in a place known as “the Commons.” It is a place where great minds meet and share their work, their goals, and demonstrate their love in helping out… in a warm and friendly environment—such as the Commons. I am so grateful to our hosts and the team for making Blogging 201 possible.”
“I have learned so much and am very happy with the progress I’ve made on my blog. I’ve already got my first paid photo engagement as a result of my blog, and I wasn’t even trying to! Unbelievable. Thank you!”
