     Group members! Go to your email and follow the instructions so you will have access to the blog!    


Decide who will read your blog.  You can either select “anybody” or “only people I choose.”  If you choose the second option you MUST add me as a reader!




Under “formatting” leave everything as is EXCEPT make sure time is set to Eastern Time.


Under “comments” please add your email addresses to receive notice when comments are posted.


Log out, follow the instructions in your email, log back in.  Otherwise you will post as me, and to everyone's groups.  Today you will make 1 or 2 posts.

1).  Write a brief bit about yourself and comment on your group members’ posts.


2.  If you brought your paragraphs of blog draft please also post them in a second post.  Ask questions in the comments regarding what sort of feedback you need!
