IMPORTANT ...PLEASE READ:

-Students have had three full weeks to establish/create their blogs.  If they haven't done so, they are way behind.  Blogs and blog posts will be a weekly assignment. Students need to have a blog for this class.

-I can't grade a student's blog unless he/she adds me as a reader (instructions were given) AND he/she completes the blog survey correctly.

-The first blog post was from 8/28 although students were given until 9/4 to complete it (so 8/28 and 9/4 together were the first blog post) EVEN IF YOU SENT ME YOUR FIRST BLOG POST VIA GOOGLE DOCS, YOU STILL NEED TO HAVE IT POSTED ON YOUR BLOG IN ORDER FOR IT TO RECEIVE A GRADE.

-The second blog post was from 9/11.

-It is OKAY if students have four blog posts---one from each of the Fridays 8/28; 9/4; 9/11; 9/18.

**THE FIRST TWO BLOG POSTS ARE EXPLAINED ON PREVIOUS CLASS BLOG POSTS (CHECK THE FRIDAYS...8/28; 9/4; 9/11).
