On days 3 and 4- tips/ Room to grow
Like every venture, blogging is no different when it comes to audience demographics. Remember your audience (customer) is the venture. You must know your audience and create content and use language that they can relate to.
- Identify your customer (audience)
- Your customer goals + blog business goals= success
- Provide a summary of expectations
- Keep it simple
My experience blogging has been mostly with WordPress as a student through ETEC courses. My major issue has been with navigation and finding information easily.
My suggestion on how to address this would be to provide alternate links to content, i.e provide a primary and secondary menu structure and make keywords quick links to major content.

Great point that your audience is your venture. So when we are creating educational blogs, who are we targeting – educators, the students, or maybe their parents – I expect that there are not many educators who would consider a blog for parents – One of the vidoe links on the Day 2 Content page shows a teacher who created a community blog from her classroom – thinking outside the classroom for a classroom blog is not a common activity. I also like your suggestion of a menu structure that would make quicker access to the content. Thanks for the link!
