Classmates' Blogs

From time to time I will post a few of your classmates' blogs to discuss in class. Dolphins in Detroit 06 includes a brief, but simple introduction on the left hand nav. and also includes Jason's bloglines subscriptions. Luxury Automobiles includes a list of friend's blogs and a list of additional links (which currently includes the link to the author's wiki project). Travels in Italy also includes links to classmates' blogs.

We will look at each of these tomorrow and also go over how to include content on the left hand nav. of your template. How to edit your template should get you started. The following is the project scope of the blog. As part of 'other relevant resources' noted in bullet 7 of the project scope, you should also consider adding the following over the course of the semester:

• Sitemeter: track how many visits you receive and the referer URL. Listed under 'other resources' and an example at the bottom left.
  
• GoogleAdsense: run advertisements served by google that are 'contextual'. Listed under 'other resources'.
  
• Your contact information: if someone wants to contact you ?
