What happened at our Make your own free website session on 30 October

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.

Welcome to Digital Fridays

Surrey Libraries are running Digital Friday events starting on 26 June 2015 and will be held on the last Friday of every month at Guildford Library . Digital Friday is a programme of events which will take place on the last Friday of the month at Guildford library. The aim is to establish the library service's reputation as making interesting digital things happen, to make contacts within relevant local organisations, and to build a list of people willing to act either as steering group members or as volunteers for a possible makerspace. If you would like to add your name to the list, please email: virtuallibrary@surreycc.gov.uk This blog is to share information about our Digital Friday events.
