For CS 1410 Students

Hey Class!

For the blogging part of this assignment, you need to create a blog for yourself. (You can use any blogging site you want, blogspot.com is an easy one to use). You also have to "reply" or "comment" to this posting on MY blog. Being able to create your own blog and add comments to other people's blogs is an essential 21st century information skill. There are lots of applications to do it, but do it we should (and you MUST - at least this one time).

Here is a picture from last summer at the farmers market:

I think I've figured this whole blog thing out...I think. haha Is that the farmers market in Boone? I've heard that it's really good!

I actually found my blog that i had created a couple years ago and forgotten about. I guess I really couldn't get in the habit of blogging.

I've never had a blog! This is going to be a new thing. Do you ever have a hard time coming up with things to write about? How did you get into blogging?

This has to be the most random assignment I've ever had to do, lol. But it's kind of cool.

Blogging is actually kinda fun! I wish I was in Boone that farmers market looks good!

So you asked me to blog...in return I unleashed my inner Freudian thoughts. But really, I now have a blog and it is what it is.

Those sunflowers are beautiful! I wish that I was in Boone so that I could go get some at the farmers market. I have never been but hopefully I will be back in Boone sometime this summer so that I can go. I really do kind of like this blog thing I just don't know if I am going to be able to keep it up but I hope so!

Mmmm, I'm guessing that this is the comment we are supposed to leave?

Didn't see a reply button, just doing what everyone else is :P

Leslie said...

Congratulations on your son; I saw on your blog that he was born last November. The picture from last years farmers market looks great and I hope it is going well so far this summer!

I use to be really good at all this because my senior year in high school one of my best guy friends loved doing blogs anything that had to do with HTML and now that I don't have him I'm kind of rusty with this stuff but I think I am getting the hang of it!

Blogging is something I never really thought about doing, I'm not really one to share personal things about myself with the world. But I can see how many people can you use it as a release to talk about all that going on in their lives.

I used to have a blog about song meanings, but I couldn't find it. Created a new one instead. Nice blog Dr. Wilkes.

Annie said...

I just created my own blog... again! Hopefully I will stick with it this time.

Jon said...

Blogging is a great way to let people know what's going on in your life. The farmers market up in boone is great!

Sorry I am late on this one! I love the picture with the sunflowers, I remember one year I planted them along the fence at my grandparent's house in Florida and they grew to be taller than me. (Granted I was probably about 8 at the time, but hey, it's a great memory!)

Nate said...

I'm online quite a bit, but I don't blog very much. I do use forums though, for hobbies and such.
