Ex. Cell. Ent.

I really enjoyed this week's class. It was amazing to hear all the different projects you're doing and the beginnings of some very interesting writing. It seems like you've been very thoughtful in considering what formats, topics, and restrictions (or not) are going to work best for you. Congrats on taking that first step and don't worry if things change a bit as things start to take off. Some of you have already begun posting, and I've enjoyed reading so far. For those of you who haven't quite started yet, don't let the empty screen worry you. Just jump in and write something. I can't wait to discuss how your different processes are going.

I'm also very excited about your collaborative blogs. My plan for this class has been very "blog now, reflect later" so I'm glad you've already taken the initiative to try new things and have one much larger collaborative blog than I anticipated. This is why I'm going to try not to tell you how to blog this semester: you have better ideas on your own!

As I mentioned in class, spend this next week looking for blogs you find visually interesting. That doesn't have to mean blogs that are slick or pretty, but rather things you gravitate toward intuitively based on the look of the blog. Bring one (or more) examples of this to class, and let's have a conversation about the role of image and design in writing and blogging. Until then, happy blogging!
