Blog Assignment

Create a blog and create a link to it from your ED554 home page (this will mean revising your home page and FTPing the new home page to your web site). You may create the blog at blogger.com or at another blogging site.

-the blog should have at least 3 posts - these should be something that reads like something that one would actually post -- no testing 1,2, 3 type of entries -- the point is for you to try out this as a tool you might want to use for some purpose
-the blog should have a purpose or theme
-posts which comment on the blogging process are welcome, in addition to posts that relate to the theme of the blog

I wanted to make you aware of several choices you can make at blogger.com which could affect the purpose or theme of your blog:

-you can control whether the blog will be listed in some way at blogger.com or whether one has to know the URL of your blog to access it

-for additional privacy, you can make the blog accessible to only those people you designate

-you can control comments can be made by others, and if so, whether anyone can do this, or only selected people

If for some reason, you do not want your blog to be publicly accessible, you can either limit the viewership of the blog (allowing wpegram@gmail.com to be a viewer) oro n your home page indicate that the URL has been emailed to me and email me the link.
