I’ve now reviewed all the introductory posts on the student blog.  It is fascinating to see the variety of backgrounds and experiences of the students in this course.  Thanks for sharing your ideas.  Those of you who did not make an introductory post, we missed your contribution!  (You also did not help your grade any, but I imagine you’re already aware of that.)

I noted a number of things that might help some students improve the quality of your posts.

• Make sure your post has a title.   (“Untitled Post” does not count.)
• Use categories and/or tags to describe post content.
• Follow instructions.  For instance, if asked for a picture, make sure to post one!
• Don’t forget to comment on the posts of others, as well as to post on your own account.
• Make sure that any URLs you include are active (clickable) hyperlinks.  I’ve asked Kaley to make a tech support post about generating hyperlinks.

Please contact Kaley with any  blogging questions.  If necessary, we can easily schedule another tech support session in a computer lab this week.
