Learn about Blogging

What is Blogging?

Many of our carded athletes want to know how to set up a blog that they can use to communicate with their friends, family, partners and supporters.  The Athlete Life Team at HPSNZ thought we'd set one up and take you through some steps and suggestions for how you might use it.

A blog is a series of opinions, diary and thoughts set out on the web in chronological order.  People can read your blogs and provide comments on what you have written.  It is that simple!
