This is totally mind-blowing! A college course for blogging! Ashworth College is offering a 6-month course with turnkey instruction and more- all about blogging. I have a sudden case of the warm fuzzies. 😀
I’m a “professional blogger,” which means I make money from blogging. I do text links inserts, sponsored posts, product reviews, contests, etc. Sometimes I get cash, sometimes I get free stuff. I didn’t start out blogging to make money- I was actually a political blogger way back in 2002, then I started a travel blog in 2006. Making money with blogging just developed over time. I absolutely LOVE blogging, both pro and as a hobby. But I wish I’d had some semblance of education to know what I was doing. I learned a lot by figuring things out myself (everything from imrpoving search engine optimization to website template design). It was a slow process, riddled with frustrations and blessings. But I do love being a blogger.
I think it would be terrific to take a course in blogging. What do you think? Do you think it would improve your blogging skills? I would like to learn more about SEO and getting more traffic, but I also wish I knew more about design. I am seriously considering taking the course. Not only to learn things, but just to say that I did it. 
What could be more cool on a resume than to state that I have an advanced blogging degree (besides maybe a doctorate in brain surgery)?
Would you ever take an online course for blogging? I’m tickled about the whole thing! Kudos to Ashworth College!
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

I certainly would take the course if I were going to blog professionally. It might be expensive for a hobby.

a course in blogging would be fun I think.(like after work class) I have done most everything by trial and error also. or help from other bloggers. a college course would be a bit much though.

I think you could probably teach the course now! I blogging course would be fun though.
