Welcome

Welcome to the class blog for our English 112. Here, you'll find weekly assignments, content I post about the concepts, skills, and knowledge we'll cover in the class, and class announcements. In many respects, this blog will supersede the class blackboard site.

In fact, as quickly as possible, I will move away from the blackboard site as the primary host for our class. In it's stead, we'll be using a class listserv as one of the major forums through which the class can communicate (LCSpring2008Reynolds@googlegroups.com). More on this last later. For right now, just know that I'll be using this blog as a means of communicating with you.

There are several ways to gain access to the posts I make on this blog. The easiest is to visit the following site at least once a day:

If you are familiar with blogs, you'll know you can also use a RSS feed Reader. If you don't know what RSS is, follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format).

If you don't have an RSS Reader set up, you can add the service to the google account you're using for this class. Just go to your google account, sign in, use the services line at the top of the page to navigate to "more," and then click on "Reader." Doing so will open a window where you can set up automatic "feeds" from blogs you're interested in reading, like the one for this class. Then, every time there's a new post to one of the blogs to which you are subscribed, it will post on the blog website and be sent to your reader.
