Class Blogs

I have visited each of your blogs. Quite of few of you have chosen the black background with grey font color. It might be my old eyes, but I have a difficult time reading the grey links. One of the fonts used is also difficult to read. The letters seem extremely close together which makes it difficult to see where one word ends and another begins--the words almost look blurry. Choose your fonts and colors carefully.

I also want to point out the editing keys at the top of your new blog postings. The icon, ABC with a check mark, will check the spelling of your post. I recommend using it! There are quite a few errors with capitalization. All proper nouns should be capitalized. Proofread, proofread, proofread!

Finally, I think about half of you have this blog as a link on your blog. If not, please add it.

WikiLeaks

First job today is to print your Notepad file with your HTML code and the preview page from the Internet. Staple both printouts together and submit.

WikiLeaks has been in the news in recent months. Have you ever heard the name before? Perform a search and tell me about the site. What is the purpose? Who runs the site? Why has it been in the news? What are some of the latest stories they have broken?

As you read through your classmates' posts, find something original to report about WikiLeaks.
