You are awesome. You blog, and that's awesome. I'll show you how to make your blog even MORE awesome with design & Photoshop.

Whether you're a beginning blogger anxious to learn more about designing, setting up, and improving your blog, or you're a dedicated blogger with little experience in the ins-and-outs of Photoshop, you have come to the right place! In this intensive two-week class, I'll show you how to take a thoughtful approach to your blog's design, gather elements to support that design, and then create and add essential elements using Photoshop. I'll also show you how to resize and frame your images just right for your blog, and we'll go through several cool widgets to connect your blog to your other social media. You'll be amazed at the improvement to your blog with these Photoshop and design lessons!
