Why We Blog

Oh, this is lovely. I spent a rather relaxing, paper-free hour last night perusing the new blogs, most of which- authored by the bloggers whose handwriting I could read from the spiral notebook- are now listed on the right-hand side of your screen; take a few minutes to open a new window in your browser, navigate to each blog in your class, and cut and paste the url into your link list.





The title box actually refers to the name of the list itself- name it something that will remind you that it includes members of the accelerated class (I've named my fifth and sixth periods, respectively, "the skinny pedal" and "the gas"- get it?). In the New Site Name box, type the name of the person whose blog you're linking. Do this with every member of your class and, if you choose, the other accelerated class.

I'm glad most of you are picking this up fairly easily. There are of course, a few of you who are still a little unsure. Matt S., struggles with the existential crisis of why we blog in the first place:

I've never blogged before and I don't really know why people do it. The phone was made for a reason, so we can talk to each other freely, well at least most of the time. What's the big deal about it? Why do people do it? And what makes it so special?

I have my own answers to these questions, but I'd like you to comment on Matt's blog with your ideas first, if you've got them.
I love you. Blog on.
