The Magic of Making Links

The day started a little bit late because it is a Public Holiday. Tanzanian Muslims are joining the Muslim World to celebrate Eid Al Hajj. Participants also joined the rest of the world to observe the day.

The consensus reached during the first day was to start the training a little bit late in order to allow Muslim participants to go for prayers in the morning and resume training around 10:00. Remember the normal time of starting training is 9:00.

The day resumed with creating links-the subject that seemed to win attention from most participants who were eager to understand the magic behind this online skill. They were told to select three blogs from their fellow participants and then create links to their blogs. The subject was understood by most of them. Others created more than three links, while others ended up with instructor’s instruction of only three links.After creating the links and view their blogs, they could browse direct their fellow participants' blogs from their blogs.

Then we visited African websites necessary for journalistic work. We visited The Nation Newspaper in Kenya, Daily Monitor in Uganda, Mail & The Guardian in South Africa and many more sites. The training was gaining the momentum – but we have only two days to go.
