Blogging Business

Buds forming on Paphiopedilum Pinocchio.
Here are the due dates for your final blogging obligations!  

For those doing Capstone Projects:
  • Folks in 1A & 4A must finish by 3:15 pm on May 2;
  • Folks in 2B must finish by 3:15 pm on May 1;
  • Folks in 2A must finish by 3:15 pm on April 30.
For those not doing Capstone Projects:
  • Folks in 1A & 4A must finish by 3:15 pm on May 22;
  • Folks in 2B must finish by 3:15 on May 19;
  • Folks in 2A must finish by 3:15 on May 20.
Everyone must complete FOUR more well-written, meaningful, substantial, semi-connected, aesthetically-pleasing, and carefully-proofread blog posts, complete with titles, links, labels, & captioned photos taken by you or acquired from Foter.com, dated after March 7, 2014 (20 points). Use the tagging function of Blogger to mark your TWO best posts with the label "portfolio" (40).  

When you complete this task, you may put the B.W.O badge on your blog (you just copy the code and paste it into the HTML gadget available from Blogger). Ask me for help, if necessary. 


More new growth…a sign of spring?
I am talking with our Technology folks about how you might continue to have access to your blogs after you leave Marshall. Blogger allows you to create a backup file of your blog, and at the very least, I'll show you how to do that. There are services, free and paid, that will turn blogs into books or e-books, so that might also be an option for you.  

I also intend to award "Best Blog" status to one student from each class section…there might even be prizes…
