Expectation of the Blog!

There is a difference between writing a POST and making a COMMENT on a blog.  For the purposes of the EAT class, you will create a post each week to a prompt given by me.  In the future your prompts will be found on this blog.

There will be some weeks which you will be asked to COMMENT on a blog post I have written.  A comment is exactly what the name implies.  It is short and to the point.  It gives your opinion in a short amount of words.  In many cases, it may be a sentence or less.

Here are some quick guidelines on how to make a good POST.  Expert blogger, Darren Rowse, offers ten tips that will help you become an expert blogger.
