Please create a blog on blogger


Please make a blog!

Creating a blog on blogger will provide you with a means of centralizing your notes, ideas, links and other bits & pieces of information related to your assignment work for DAI527

go to

http://www.blogger.com


and sign up for a blog.

When naming the blog, please use the following file naming convention: first initial, surname, DAI527 i.e:

jdoeDAI527

and blogger will add the ".blogspot.com" extension

This way all I (or anyone in class) needs to know is your name to have a look at your blog which in this case would be

http://www.jdoeDAI527.blogspot.com

This blog should be thought of as a digital diary and scrapbook, not the authoring or publishing area for your assignments. Assignments should have their own discrete online identity as sites separate from this class blog.
