Week 8 Online Lab Session Work ||cancelled Upload a blog post by 10 p.m. on Mon. 10.15

As you may remember from class, I cancelled this blog post because I changed the due dates for Essay #2 and it interfered.

However, you will still get credit for this blog post slot, because I am going to use it to give you credit for having created your blog in the first place. I know that it took a bit of patient attention to get it up and running, and so that fact should be added into the blogging grade category, and so this slot is a convenient way to do that.

Just to be clear: You didn't have to produce a blog post for credit at the blog post #5 grade slot -- you are getting retroactive credit for setting up your blog site.
