Playing the class blog game

OK, to clarify the game with this blog:

Before Monday morning, each of you should add at least one original post to the blog.  You do that by going to the "dashboard" at www.blogger.com and clicking on the icon that looks like a pen/pencil. In other places you may see a button for "new post."  That works, too.

You can post an observation, a thought about something having to do with music, a YouTube video, a link to an article somewhere online, etc.  If you post a link or video, please tell us in your post why you are bringing it to our attention.  If you're posting a video, you can embed it in your post by clicking on the little movie icon at the top of the postig window (it's two icons to the right of the word "Link"). 

You also need to post a minimum of five comments on posts created by me or a class member.  There are three (the homework posts) that you are required to add a comment to, so you need to comment on at least two of the posts by other class members.  This can trigger some interesting discussions.  You'll have more fun and get more out of it if you do more comments than two. 

Most of you have already added comments.  If not, you can get the comment box by either clicking on the title of the post and scrolling to the bottom, where you'll see a text-entry box appear, or clicking on "comments" at the bottom of the post as it appears on the main page of the blog.

In summary:
     One original post
     At least five comments (including the three required ones)
