I started my first Blog in the classroom during my WordPress Jumpstart course that I had taken up in August 2007. This course was a joint venture between my ex-colleague and his partners. 

I happened to bump into my ex-colleague in the street and he persuaded me to enrol for his course. I was thinking that I could learn a new skill and the course fee was not expensive so I took up the offer to sign up for the WordPress Jumpstart course.

Surprisely, I was his first batch of students. There were 9 students, 2 trainers and 1 admin assistant in the class. Apparently, I was the guinea pig of their joint venture 🙂 This is how I started up my Blogging journey.

The trainer told us to prepare 3 topics and then narrow down to one for the class assignment. We picked the topic that we wanted to use and then wrote 10 articles about this topic. After which, we shall put it in our first Blog and got ready to publish them.

The trainers also taught us on how to apply for Adsense account so as to monetise from our Blog. Besides this, we also learnt some other Blogging techniques which were so new to me. 

Frankly speaking, all these techniques were really like aliens to me as they involved a lot of technical skills and I was not internet-proficient during those days.

Anyway, I’m glad that I had taken up the WordPress Jumpstart course and have learnt a new skill. Perhaps this is one of the best courses that I have ever attended.
