Major in English. My university would never hold courses like photograph (which is a shame). The closest they came to was called “The Art and Purpose of Photojournalism”. It was all about theory. Very enriching, but definitely not a photography course.

Do they really teach blogging in schools? I’ve attended a Freelance Workshop once and it really helped me hone my writing skills and introduced me to the nuances of blogging.

I entered into blogging from a career as a Senior Graphic Designer and knowing how to use the Adobe Creative Suite software has helped me to keep my costs to the minimum ….. Knowing CSS and HTML would be great whether you choose to use WordPress or Blogger as your platform.

Noble Desktop in NYC offers free classes in web and graphic design.

My sisters and I were just talking about this the other day! It’s amazing how many jobs and degrees have been made in the last 10 years alone because of technology and the amazing things (blogging) that can be done on the web. Imagine 10 years from now?!

Photography – a photo speaks a thousand words. It can make the biggest difference in a blog aesthetically. All the blogs I read have brilliant photography.

I think basic HTML/Wordpress and SEO are definitely important for bloggers. Other than that I think that list is really good-now I see all the holes I need to work on!

At some schools, like my alma mater Indiana University, you can do individualized majors where you basically create your own curriculum. I wouldn't be surprised if IU let someone get a degree in blogging! Fun trivia: Will Shortz (the guy who writes the NY Times crossword puzzle) went to IU and created his own major in word puzzles. Scott from The Sartorialist and Jessica from What I Wore also went to IU. What can I say...I'm in good company. Go Hoosiers! Sarah's Real Life
