Office Hours Change

Because I will be picking up an additional course, I will need to change my office hours. My new office hours will be:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 3pm to 5pm.

 

Establish a Blog Assignment

You should establish a WordPress.org blog for this use in this course.  You may design its appearance it anyway that is pleasing to you so long that it is

a) appropriate for me to view, and

b) contains a sidebar for links.

 

Once you have created your WordPress blog, you should email your blog URL to me at smorgan ‘at’ southcollegenc ‘dot’ edu by 5pm on Thursday, April 16. Next, add the course blog’s URL under your links or “Blogroll” section. Finally, add a post of one or two paragraphs to your blog describing a blog you like. In your post, include a link to that blog. You may use Google to find something that addresses your interests or use one of the popular blogs below.

 

Post Secret

Your answers should be posted as comments to the entry no later than 5:45pm on Tuesday, April 14.
