CTL Workshop: How to Improve Existing Blogs@Baruch Sites

Bring your existing site (or launch a new one to test out for next semester). This will be a hands-on working session. Topics will depend on the needs of attendees, but possibly could include: Finding and activating a new theme • Tweaking design elements • Popular plugins that extend functionality • Using images and media with accessibility in mind • Having students create their own blogs.
