Blogging for Dummies

To post your response, click on the “Comments” link following the specific prompt. Some recommendations, requirements, and reminders:

• Sign with your first name so I can give you credit. Never use your full name.
  
• Keep it brief: about 150 words does the trick. You don’t need to say everything at once, just make a solid point. More will overwhelm your classmates.
  
• Proofread your work. You may want to compose your response in Microsoft Word and then paste it in.
  
• Unless you are the first to post, acknowledge at least one comment made before your own. You might support (and extend), challenge, or qualify positions that have already been taken.
  
• Support your ideas with specific reasons or examples; be respectful; basically, treat blogging like a very public class discussion.
  
• Try not to wait until the last minute!
  
• Let me know if you have any technical problems. In a worst case scenario, print out or email me your work.
