July - 'Online Hobbies', 'Blogging' and more ...

30/7/2022

This month we continued the unit ‘Online Hobbies’ and looked at Blogging.

Blogging is a means for you to share your interests and hobbies online with either a closed audience- people you select or the whole world - those who find your blog online.

Many people using blogs use a travel blog to share their travel stories and photos.

When visiting the App Store, some blogging apps are free and others you will need to pay.

Google has a free blogging site called Blogger.

More recent social media such as Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr are another form for posting and sharing interests and hobbies.
