Hi Jan,
I like how you added separate boards in addition to the main one for added depth. I'm curious, how does the addition of separate boards add value rather than having a 'cats' themed board with all of the pins in one? Is it for easier 'tagging' or filtering in an online search?
Also, you posted a photo of your board but didn't actually embed it. Try editing your page, on the pinterest board on the top right are three little dots, click on them and click on 'embed'. This will give you an HTML code to copy and paste onto your blog post.
Good luck!
(Cute choice of boards)

This is the course blog for the inaugural running of COMM597: Effective Social Media Communication for the Master's of Communication Technology at the University of Alberta. Strategy, skills and a high level of critical literacy are needed for effective social media communication. Too often social media is exaggerated, appearing only at one side of a spectrum: either as something that instills trepidation or something that generates awe. This course is intended to find that middle ground. An aspect of this course will employ theories of new media, media anthropology, communications and literacy to critically analyse and understand these current platforms. Additionally, through hands-on practise, participants will learn how to create content for various popular social media platforms, and to engage their communities and listeners in conversation. A special focus of this course will be the different writing needs of several major social media platforms, and the development of strategic and skillful writing for these platforms; i.e. developing best practises.
