A blogging course

If I were to be running a blogging course, what could I include? The course is 12 hours on one weekend, six hours on Saturday and six on Sunday (i.e. four 3 hour sessions, with lunch breaks).

Depends how many blogs you've read, I suppose. Most people don't even know what a blog is.

There's loads: hosting of images, resizing, etc. Basic "coding". Legal implications. Tools like RSS Digest. Ways of keeping track of incoming potentailly-bloggable data (Google news, etc). Spell checking and proof-reading (*cough* Chris *cough*). Business-case for blogging.

Not all blogs are splurges of what's in your head...
