Blogging

Here’s the basic assignment.

All students must:

• maintain a blog under an alias (no real names);
• make that blog available to readers;
• write at least three posts per week; and
• write at least 900-1200 words per week.

Some suggestions that make this assignment easier:

• write about topics of interest to you on your blog;
• keep links on the side of your blog that take you to sites you like to read, so you will always have new topics handy;
• don’t write all your posts in one day;
• feel free to change up your topics when necessary, but talk to me first.

Some things I would like to consider, but do not require at the beginning of the year:

• embed images and video in your posts, when you think they would be of use to the reader/viewer;
• include links within the posts, to help the reader get to other related content that would be useful or interesting;
• consider your template, color scheme, and font, to make your blog appealing to look at and read.
