Thanks for sharing this Ana!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Emilia, it was interesting to read this. I do agree, especially the part where you say 'pay attention to what is around us' - I am very conscious of this now! Hannah :)

Hey Michael, take a look at this link. You might find this infographic useful. If you scroll down, there's a section on 'the basics' - that will guide you through the process. http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/twitter-hashtag-tips#sm.0001fod3x92tufllpr62e0kjy7cep Hope that helps. Hannah :)

Hi Fred, there's lots of useful resources out there to help you understand web analytics - once you start exploring it in more detail, I'm sure you'll soon start to get to grips with it. Try taking a look at the videos offered by Google too. https://www.youtube.com/user/googleanalytics Hannah :)

Hi Judy, to answer you question - you cannot save the course but you will be able to access it for a period of time once the course has finished. However, to give you an indication of how long that might be - I can still access a course and all its material from one year ago. Although, to be on the save side I would download as many of the document as possible...
