A study group to support people wanting to develop confidence and better writing habits for blogs and websites.
This first iteration of this group has been inspired by a Twitter conversation between @alina_mierlus, @epilepticrabbit and @pipstar. We all love the internet and work within open web communities but struggle with feeling confident about how we blog and write about our experiences.
Initially we will be supporting each other with simple readings and tasks as we kickstart our blogging practice.
Feel free to join in with us and help us collect and build great resources and tasks about blogging and writing on the web.

Organisational Structure
This group was created so that we could all learn together and create a reusable resource.
We are operating on a peer-based structure where we all take turns to facilitate meetings.
We're all working together to identify and develop the group's tasks
There are no experts in this group. No matter your skill level as a writer there are still new things to learn.
Organisers have additional responsibilities, primariliy accepting new members to the group. If you'd like to be an organiser please add let us know (Write on the Group's wall or send the organisers a message).
The group was orginally created by Pippa Buchanan.
