If you're not yet an AUTHOR, didn't PRESENT, didn't post an early DRAFT, or want FEEDBACK...

We've had a few technical issues with the site refusing to allow additional authors, I suspect that's because so many pending invitations have not yet been opened. 

If you have not done so, OPEN your author invitation please. 

If this problem persists, EMAIL your blogpost (early draft or final version) to me directly-- phil.oliver@mtsu.edu-- and underline the words/phrases you intended to link, & footnote them with the intended link destination. Also indicate what other blog content you intended to include (video, graphic, Google Books page etc.).

==

IF YOU WANT FEEDBACK ON YOUR FINAL REPORT BLOGPOST... 

you need to push PUBLISH.

==

IF YOU DID NOT DELIVER YOUR FINAL REPORT PRESENTATION...

and we've not already agreed to let your final report grade ride entirely on the blog post, email me ASAP.

IF YOU DO NOT POST AN EARLY DRAFT...

you should take a look at some of my comments on others' drafts, especially regarding the addition of links and other bloggish content. And DO proofread, eliminate grammatical and spelling errors, etc.

Final report blogpost, due December 10

The blogpost is simply to be an elaboration of your final presentation, with links etc. to be embedded in the text in lieu of footnotes or bibliography (instructions on how to do links etc. are in the right sidebar and below: ("How to add links, embed videos etc."). There's no set length-requirement, just say what you think will suitably complement what you've already told us. 

To post, after you've opened your author invitation, click on "New Post" in the upper right.

Post an early draft if you'd like feedback prior to Dec. 10.
