Setting up a blog isn't to hard but writing up post can be a bit hard because you really have to think about what you are writing. When your choosing your password it doesn't except it. That can be awfully frustrating.

Keyboarding

Keyboarding:- is quite easy, and it isn't as hard as you think anyway. All it takes is just a little concentration, knowing where the keys are, and knowing which fingers go where. Sometimes it can be boring but I just get one with it anyway, since it's such an important skill these days. It's part of my other school work to, so being able to type fast and accurately means more work done!
I already new a bit about keyboarding before I came to this class but it wasn't to hard picking it up again. And now i can type pretty well! Doing the keyboarding revision helped me alot.
The reason why I did this class was:
1. It is a skill needed in most jobs.
2. I needed it to do my work on the computers, so that I could type faster and get all my work done and not end up on jam because I type to slow.
