Create a blog and write a post

This assignment will familiarize you with blog creation using a tool with a high abstraction level. It will also give you another chance to carefully write a short document.

Go to www.blogger.com and create a blog. (You will need to create a Google account if you don't already have one).

There are many options for customizing your blog. For example, you can change the appearance of the blog by selecting different templates. Set your blog to the "stretch denim" template, which is used in our class blog.

Look around at the options, but you can stick with the default values for now.

For your first blog post, describe and link to one of the posts on our class blog. (You may use one that you have already written about). Try to summarize the post in the first sentence -- to get the reader interested -- then go on to say more about what it said, why you chose it, and where it fits in our class outline. Focus on your writing.

Be sure to include a link to the post itself in your post. That way, an interested reader can refer back to the original.

Finally, update your record in out class roster, adding a link to your blog.

When you finish, print and turn in a screen shot showing the blog and your entry. Also print out and turn in a listing of the class roster, indicating the link to your blog.
