Office Hours and Reminders

Hello Class!

Today I will be holding "office hours" online through Yahoo Messenger from 10am to 11am. I hold office hours every Tuesday and Thursday (unless it's a furlough day). I also log onto Yahoo Messenger from time to time when I'm working, so if you see my status as "available", I'm usually near the computer. Please feel free to chat with my anytime you see me on Yahoo Messenger (even at 2am if I'm logged on).

Reminders:
*Please email me with the following information ASAP:
Name
Alias Name
Blog Link
Phone Number

*Some people have been questioning what "website" means on the Participation Page and Schedule Page. Your website IS your blog. Once you have created your blog and emailed me a link to it, the 'website' requirement as been filled.

*PLEASE write an introductory post (as required for this week - see the Participation Page for more details) as soon as you create your blog. Sometimes blogger (blogspot will flag or essentially shut down a blog that has been created, but that has no posts).

*COMMENT, COMMENT, COMMENT - - - Please see the class list of blogs located on MY blog, lower right hand corner. Click on the link of the blog you want to go to, and comment on your classmates Introductory post. This is also a good way to make sure you know how to comment on other blogs, and to make sure your display name is showing up properly. I can only track your comments and posts if you name is correct, and it is your responsibility to make sure you comment on an appropriate post (posts that are within a given discussion week), and that your name shows up.

*Official posting and commenting starts Sunday. Our weeks run from Sunday (12:01am) to Saturday (11:59pm). We will begin our discussion week as of Sunday at 12:01am. Make sure you post 3 times to your blog at least 12 hours apart next week, and you comment on 3 different blog posts (no time restriction on the comments). Get comfortable posting to your blog and commenting THIS WEEK - as you should be well versed by Sunday to start your first official discussion week.

Until later.......
