Choose your theme wisely. Choose a Mobile Friendly one so that you can access it easily on any device.

These are some of the more effective looking themes for your new blog:

• Blaskan
• Grisaille
• Infoist
• My Life
• Oxygen
• Quintas
• Sundance
• Demo
• Noteworthy
• 2010

Take pride in your blog. Remember to do short but illuminating introductions and summaries to each upload, document, insert or link.

Lay it out beautifully – remember you are media students and should be interested in how post represent your understanding. Maintain design continuity regarding the layout, font, font size, headings, bold, post titles etc.

Check your spellings – get someone to proof it on a regular basis. Remember to make attachments PDFs and to use a thumbnail photo as the link.

And KEEP ON TOP OF IT!  You (probably) now know how it feels to get behind, start panicking and rush around to try and catch up. Year 13 is a busy year for everything so make a pact: A POST A DAY IS THE WAY TO AN ‘A’!

It is a no brainer; get the marks where they are the most straightforward to pick up.

Good luck and happy blogging.
