Keep it rolling

Tonight I would like everyone to create their own blog.  We talked about it today in class but technical difficulties make it easier to do at home.  Don't worry too much about how it looks or what settings you choose.  We'll get to that. 

Remember, you are going to have a Word of the Day test sometime over the next two weeks!

Lastly don't forget to complete your ten items for your time capsule.
