Eight people attended a workshop on Digital Friday, 30 October, to build their own website using Wordpress.  They all had different reasons for attending:  three of them wanted to set up sites for clubs that they ran, one already had a site that was run by a consultant, one wanted to set up a site for his new company, and three people came just to learn something new.         There's still a long, long backlog of people who would have liked to come on the course, and we're talking to colleagues in Surrey County Council's Adult Education section to see if we can run regular sessions sometime in the future.    #digifriday

Are you a creative writer who would like to try something new? We are running a workshop session on 27 November 2015 from 10am to 12.30pm at Guildford Library , which will focus on creating interactive fiction online using Inklewriter software. Interactive fiction is a genre of writing that allows the writer and reader to branch off in different directions with the story, and can provide endless possibilities as to where that story ends up. This Digital Friday workshop session will include a brief introduction to interactive fiction, but the main focus will be a hands-on introduction to Inklewriter, with the aim of creating your own short piece of interactive fiction by the end of it. Laptops will be provided for the session. Don't miss out - book your place online #digifriday
