New Blog Hosting Site…for English I Honors Students!

KatLynn — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:57:29 +0000

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know that we have a new blog hosting site. During the 3rd nine weeks, all blogs will be required to be submitted online using a username and password that I give you. It’s a really simple process to use. You can post blogs, read other blogs, and comment on each others’ blogs. All comments and postings will be moderated by me. And don’t worry parents…the site is password protected so that only those with the password can view the blogs.

Take a look around and visit http://www.classblogmeister.com/ . Select SC from the drop down menu on the right and then choose my name. It will take you straight to our site. To view my sample blog, click on KL and enter the class password of wave2011.

Sure Has Been a While

KatLynn — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 01:30:26 +0000

Hey everybody! It’s been a while since I’ve updated this thing. I apologize for the inconvenience. For some reason, I haven’t been able to log onto this site from school. Now, I’ve got it together. Be on the lookout for some new features in the future such as podcasts. We’ll probably be moving to a new site sometime in January, but don’t worry, I’ll keep you posted.

If I don’t post again before I get out for Christmas, I hope you have a wonderful break and I’ll see you all next year!
