Read This First!

Hello!

The purpose of this blog is so my students can come and check their assignments and ask questions to myself or other students.

You will be required to create your own blog.

You will need to create an account first. To do so, go here:

http://www.blogger.com/signup.g

and fill out the form. Then when you post comments your name will be displayed.

Each week, you will need to update your blog. We'll talk about ideas in class, and you can come to this site if you're not sure what to do.

If you have questions or problems, leave a comment on this website.

Thanks,

Josh
