Thanks for all of you who have jumped right in

For those unfamiliar with blogger:

You have two options for posting your blog entries.

1. New Posts: In the upper right hand of the screen, click "new post." This will initiate a new thread (like the two I have created with the readings for weeks one and two). Give it a zippy and relevant title in the title box, enter the body of the text in the main "box," and make sure to click "publish post" to send your words to the public blog.

2. Comments: Beneath each thread (like the two I have created with the readings for weeks one and two)(like the two I have created with the readings for weeks one and two), you will find the word "[#] comments." This will take you to a new page that begins with the original thread and includes the bodies of all comments made thus far. At the bottom of the comment already made is a text box in which you may enter your post. Make sure that the "Comment as..." menu (directly below the white text box) has your accurate avatar/userid indicated and click "Post Comment" to make your words available as a public comment.

Please post any questions or concerns you have to our course listserv @ s09nat@googlegroups.com
