Improve your writing: Get a blog

Published by Vergil under Boys,Technology,Writing

As we’re thinking of how to get Colin to become more comfortable with writing, we turned to a natural choice: have him write about things he likes, the things he researches just for him. And how should he do the writing? Well, it seems like blogging would be a reasonable choice.

So, I’ll be setting up a blog for him on my webserver space and probably be using a WordPress backend. Right now I’m trying out an free blogging tool Qumana (as noted at the end of this post) and seeing how it translates over to the actual site.

Beyond that, we’ll be encouraging him to write something each day (much like a daily journal) and hopefully I’ll post the url when I get things set up on this end so you can follow his progress.
