Blog adoption guidelines

1. By 5 p.m. Wednesday, search and  post below the names of two blogs, and urls that you might adopt. For discussion in class  Thursday, I will ask you "Why?"

2. Blog adoption guidelines for second half of semester:

“We want a sense of what makes this blog effective, and to learn from the blogger’s experience.”

Presentations will start March 31

• You must show the blog visually in your presentation, scroll through it and discuss.
• You must interview the blogger, by email or on the phone. I recommend you contact them soon to make sure they know what you're doing. Last minute, "they did not respond" doesn't cut it
• If you cannot make contact, you will need to choose a different blog.
• One page outline of main points handed to every member of class and professor (24 total) while discussing it:
• List the Name and url of the blog.
