Getting started

Hi there all you digital photographers, welcome to the online learner diaries.
This blog page will allow you to post your thoughts and comments on how the course is going, what you have learned and how you intend to use the skills in your own time.

Feel free to be critical as well as complimentary but always constructive using appropriate language. This blog is intended to be the official record of learner progress and the effectiveness of the course, it will be viewed by Dudley MBC Adult Education staff, other learners and perhaps other interested parties so please bear that in mind.

A regular, weekly entry or post with picture evidence is probably best. I'll be running through the process during the second week and will give assistance, particularly if you're new to blogging!
