Extra Credit Assignment #4

Create your own blog!

Hi everyone!  In reading the initial postings about blogs in the Week Twelve discussion forum, I'm struck by the fact that many of you don't have a lot of personal experience with blogs. And this is such a useful technology.

I've given a number of workshops on Web 2.0 technologies, including blogs.  For these workshops, I wrote a tutorial on how to create a blog. See:

OK - for 3 extra credit points (30% of a weekly assignment), create your own blog following the directions in my tutorial. Figure out something that you want to write about, select an appropriate name for your blog, and publish something you can share with the class. Post the URL of your new blog here.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

Blogging is something you really should experience first-hand!!

Of course, if you already have a blog, you can post a link to it here, and write a description of why you have this blog and what it means to you.
