Welcome to the College Writing I Blog!

This is a place to communicate online with our community of scholars.

How do I post?
Three ways. You can
1) Click on the Comments link at the bottom of any of the posts that are already here
2) Or you can send an email to the secret address (only members of the class know what it is)
3) Or if you are logged on as a member you can create a new post.

Is this private?
No. Right now the blog is set up so anyone can comment. If we get intrusive comments from outside the class I'll start moderating them, or change the settings so that you have to be logged on to comment. We're using a free, public service, not something set up by Franklin Pierce College, so we'll see how it goes.

What is this thing?
It's a blog, which is short for "web log," meaning an online diary. Blogs are a relatively new phenomenon, and have been growing exponentially in popularity over the last 5 years. We're using the service called Blogger because it's free and easy.

So am I, like, famous?
Well, not yet. But if you're hooked on this blogging thing, set up one of your own, and tell us about it. We'll all come visit you.
