Blogdelirium Blow Out: End of Semester Big Bash

Here are the rules

1. Blogging papers are turned in BY Wednesday night, April 27, at 6:00PM. That gives you enough time to add any final thoughts from the Blow Out blog party. Make sure I have yor blog papers by April 27 by 6:00PM. Yes, that means you can still hand in the paper on the 25th if you'd like.

2. NO PRESENTATION on the 25th. Instead, we have one last round of blogging as a group. You've all made the argument quite well that rather than presenting at this stage, you'd rather make one more blog party to see what has been updated.

3. You have to invite ONE friend, not from class, to blog with us. That outside person has to visit THREE sites, NOT including yours, and leave posts.

And yes, you still have a final website due the following Monday (as it is your "final exam"). You need to send me your URL (the web address where your site is located) by 6:00PM. I will review your sites as they come in and give grades.

You can pick up your blog papers anytime during the first week in May, Monday-Thursday from 4-6PM.

If you'd like, once I have everyone's web site address, I can post them here as links so everyone can visit. Just let me know.

Hope this clarifies people's concerns and helps them set their schedules for the last week and a half of class. We'll go over this again in class on Monday night, and you'll always be able to visit here and recheck the requirements.

Right. Blog party instead of class on the 25th. Paper due by the 6PM deadline on the 27th. Follow the rules listed.

In class Monday night I'll talk about the web site. Some people are finished, some are almost finished, some are almost started. Jenn N pointed out that I misread the syllabus, so the web sites are due on the 9th.

So, Cathy and others, if you're having difficulties getting started with your web site or having difficulties getting Dreamweaver or whatever you're going to use, let me know on Monday. I'll go over things people can do to build their sites during Monday's class. Then on the 25th, we'll have the Blogdelirium Blow Out, the 27th you'll have your paper due, the 2nd you'll get your papers back (and we'll talk one final time about the web sites...I'd get the writing lab reserved EXCEPT Macs are notoriously bad for doing websites on Tripod, Angelfire or any of those places except the Rowan home page.

During finals week I'll have time to meet with students to help them upload or consult on their web sites before the 5/9/05 due dates.

Sure, Addie! We like party crashers, don't we, everyone?
