Welcome, Syllabus and Homework!

Hello! I am happy to have you all in my class and to unveil this new website I've been working on. The syllabus is in my Google Docs and since I am again attempting to go paperless, (or almost paperless) I will not be handing it out to you. You are more than welcome to print a copy of the syllabus, or just reference it as needed.

Your homework for tonight is to create a gmail account (if you don't already have one.) After that is created, you will create a blog using Blogger. I will go over with you the guidelines to use to create this blog. This should be created by next class.

The term "blog" is short for "weblog" or a place where you can publish your thoughts immediately online. People have blogs for all reasons. Here are links to a few blogs that are hosted by Blogger.
You Only Live Once-A twenty-something's experiences living in Guatemala for a year and now back living in Louisville.
Ampersand Design Studio- Two women and their design company. Lots of fun stuff from crafts and DIY organization tools to projects that their company has designed.
Hyperbole and a Half - A comedic look at mundane topics.

Here's a 2 minute summary of how to use Blogger:
