We're Close!

While I know many of you have been frustrated by the blogging exercise, I have to admit that it has gone much smoother than I was expecting.  We are having some mystery issues, like why the professor isn't able to add a blog that others of us can (since I have to answer to her, I think I'll blame it on solar flares), or some people having trouble getting their blog to behave the way they expected, but I'm pretty pleased so far.  Think about where we are compared to where we were a week ago - all of you have created an online journal where you can share thoughts and comment on your classmates' work, you've made it to the Blogosphere!!!

Our problems have come from trying to subscribe or link to other sites (relationships can be tough), we can work through those.  Shortly I'll add information about submitting your posts by email, something that could be useful during emergency operations.  Then we'll look at adding other files, including audio (I'm going to have fun with that one).  A couple bumps in the road, but don't give up, you're learning a new medium for communication, once you're comfortable with it you will be able to apply it in many different situations.
