“A community is any network of individuals--online or off--
connected through a common interest.”
“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 Hero
Get 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!”
