Not Quite Ready for Take Off (Yet!)


We're slowing things down a bit. Please don't move on to your full blogs just yet. Instead, do the following:

* Send me the title of your blog. Remember to come up with something that doesn't suffer from the "Huh" factor. (If you're saying "huh?", see your textbook for more information.)
* Send me the web address for your blog.
* Send me your name along with these things so I can match you to your blog. (I know you know this, but, well, you know.)
* Polish the template for your blog and add all your little bits. (Bio note, photos, subhead, that first post you did if it's relevant, another sample first post if you'd prefer, that sort of thing.)
* Be sure you're happy with your template and it's ready to go. It's a commitment thing.
* Be ready to launch your blogs starting next week.

Please complete the above by 2 p.m. on Sunday and send the info to: lljakiela@gmail.com. I'll make a list of all the blogs and addresses and send it to you via e-mail.

Once you get the list, add the people in your group to your blogroll. You each should have between four to six blogs (depending on the size of your group) in your blogroll by Tuesday.

Oh, and don't forget to read Chapter 3 in Huffington. The quiz will cover Chapters 1-3.

Happy blog-birthing!
