Diary '09/'10 (Authors wanted!)

Healium

Hey folks,starting up a blog for the year. Hoping to get some authors from a variety of counties to document their experience of the state exams,the good and the bad,from the start of 6th year to the end. Kilkenny and Roscommon are covered. If interested,hit me up at ianhealy(at)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk

Healium

Should have put more detail into the description,but i'm on boards mobile.....Documenting your worries,change in attitude throughout the year,subjects,exams,CAO time etc.

Where will it be published?

Healium

Just on a Wordpress blog. Don't let that put you off,I'll be publicising it a good bit if its still alive after a month or two. Just need to see if it works first. If anything,it'll be something to look back on yourself in a few years

Something like leaving-cert.net?

Healium

Purdy much. I didn't know about that site until a few days ago so I stopped the idea of setting up one myself. But i E-mailed them and got no reply. Seems pretty dead to me so I'm setting up one myself last-minute. It doesn't matter,anyway. If they run,that's fine. I'm doing it for myself so that I've something to look back on. I'm only doing it because a few friends of mine liked the idea,too

I've always wanted to do a blog:rolleyes:

Healium

The first few posts are up, http://bit.ly/2q7JVE
Got another few authors lined up to post aswell.
There's plenty of cosmetic changes to be done yet, so save your criticism Trying to find the time
If anyone still wants to contribute, drop me a mail

Reillyman

How do you subscribe to the blog?

Room for one more author?

Healium

Yeah,there's still room! Drop me an E-mail. As for subscribing,i genuinely don't know yet. I'm reasonably new to Wordpress but i'm sure there's an easy way to do it. I'll have a look tomorrow At the moment,i'm just sticking shortened url's on Facebook,twitter etc. Got well over a hundred views today which in nice! Not really going to plug it until its properly set up,probably this weekend! Thanks for the interest!

Healium

Yeah,Nevermind. There'd be an RSS Feed which you could subscribe to

Reillyman

Just uploaded my first post, make sure to check it out and leave some feedback!

I wrote for leaving-cert.net last year, t'was great.
We even got published in the Irish Times (quite a lot).


Publicise it a bit, stick it into your sig, etc etc.
