After attending a couple of blogging conferences recently, I have a renewed focus on improving my blogging skills. Particularly in the areas of photography and image editing, I would like to take it to the next level. Lynda.com online software training offers many online courses on photography, Photoshop, Picasa, and much more. I am excited to have a new membership on lynda.com to take some of these courses and brush up my skills. There are even courses that will help me make more sense of Google Analytics, WordPress and Google AdWords.

I’m very interested in the Web & Interactive courses. I used to know how to design and build websites, but since it wasn’t part of my current job, my skills fell by the wayside as HTML advanced to 4 and 5.
