I decided the best way to test out my blog was to put it into action so I had my students visit it and post comments.  I found their comments about blogging quite interesting.  I planned to have them visit this site one time only but many wanted to continue viewing it from home so I guess I’ll post my comments for this class on another blog to be created soon!
