Entries from January 2009 ↓

Hello,

Sorry to write that this will be the last post on the blog.  Unfortunately, the host began automaticly linking high frequency words to “.com ” sites at the beginning of the year.   The links can be removed  but reappear everytime I update or respond to a post.  It became a futile effort.  The good news is that the wiki is still up and running, and it has all the information you need in one place.

See you tomorrow!

Due to technical difficulties, the Blog will be down until further notice.  Please refer to the class wiki for assignments and due dates:)
