Welcome!
This is where you will be posting your weekly blog for this course. Each week will have a topic associated with it. You will be expected to create a blog on the subject for the week. What you have to doo each week will vary depending on what we are studying that week. You may be required to give your opinion on a given topic, you may be asked to do some research on something and tell what you learned. Please make sure that you read the instructions for each week’s blog thoroughly before you begin typing.

How to Start:
The first requirement is to go to the website, www.blogger.com , and create your own personal blog and introduce yourself (use CSC175 and your last name as part of the URL when you create the blog). Blogger is affiliated with Google, so you will be able to set up an account based on your LR email address. There are easy to follow instructions. Be sure to save your userid and password somewhere. If you forget it, you will need to create a new blog. Once you have a blog address (make sure that you have completed the entire set up process), copy the URL and send it to me in the message system in LAMP -- DO NOT SEND IT TO ME IN EMAIL). I will add your blog address to this site. If I do not have access to your blog, I cannot grade it!
Please Note:
Once you have created your blog and sent me the link, all you have to do is go back to your blog and add a new post. You do NOT need to create a new blog each week. Please make sure that you remember your log in information.
What to include in your blog:
Instructions for what to include in each week's blog is explained in detail in that week's section of LAMP. Please read all of the instructions thoroughly before you post. I am pretty specific with what I am looking for.
