Who will win the blog prizes?

 

This is our own internal selection of this year's food culture blogs and the best blogs in various categories. This takes place at the last meeting before Christmas and all students must vote anonymously. Prizes, and honors will be awarded during the Christmas dinner on Saturday 29 Nowember.

Remember that you can always change your blog, both text and images to make it better.

The categories are:

 

1. Best blog post about pickling, juicing and canning

2. Best blog post about preserving meat

3. Best blog post about  and traditional Norwegian  baking

 4. This year's Norwegian Food Culture blogger

The criteria are: good pictures, readable text, good professional level and simply your subjective opinion of what a tidy and nice blog post looks like!

Who can vote? All students must vote anonymously for all categories. The teachers Kari and Erik have a double vote.

Remember that once your blog is posted it is your property. You can delete the blog, change it, develop it further or create a new blog. I suggest that the professional blog can remain on the internet as a digital trace of you.

 

Best regards, Kari Ryslett

 

 

Welcome to our blog world

It's very nice to meet the new groups of Food Culture students from both Norway and all our international students. Our international students this year  are from Luxemburg, Portugal, Slovakia, Germany, Hungary, South - Korea and Japan. I want to thank you for a pleasant gathering in August with juicing, pickling and canning in our beautiful teaching kitchen at Volda University College.

Now everyone has received a blog address, and they are gradually becoming familiar with the tool. On your blog, you can change the layout, heading, colors and polish your profile. The most important thing you must do professionally is to create a text with source references and to insert a picture or film. It might be a good idea to write the text in Word and collect the picture or links before you put everything into the blog post and publish.

Remember that the blog is yours, you decide the design, images, text and have control over your comment field - if you don't like a comment, delete it.

Good luck with the product that you are going to preserve and document at your blog! 

Best regards associate professor Kari Ryslett
