Consider this a test drive...

Hello PEOPLE students! This is a model of what your blog might look like. This blog was created and maintained as a requirement for a class I took last summer. Ignore the lengthy final project post-- that was our final assignment and not really a good indication of how I used this blog to reflect on the readings and classroom discussion.

Scroll through the blog (you'll want to look at some of the older posts as well), and you'll see some elements you might want to include in your blog:
* Complete, thoughtfully composed sentences, which avoid spelling and mechanical errors
* A variety of ways in which I approach the readings
* Use of hypertext links and multi-media (The Public Enemy video is particularly cool!)
* Comments from others in my classes

After you take a look around, check out some of these blogging resources.
* Anton Zuiker's Blogging 101, which gives the basic features of a blog
*Dennis Mahoney's How To Write a Better Weblog, which provides writing conventions and tips to consider when creating your blog

Now that you've looked at some examples and resources, it's time to start your blog!

Begin by going to blogger.com and click on the "Create Your Blog Now" tab. Follow the directions and you'll soon have a functioning blog. Have fun!
