First order of business: flesh out your own blog. The idea was for you to have at least one extemporaneous post (with a link) per week. We're in our fourth full week, so that amounts to four posts. These posts should be related to the class in some way -- either extending the discussion of issues we cover in class or touching on other 21st C. challenges you're interested in. These posts don't have to be essays; a meaty, thoughtful paragraph should suffice. For a good model of length and intellectual investment, here's Steven's response to "This Blessed House." Check out Kelsey G's response to "This Blessed House" (she gets fired up and goes longer than a paragraph, which is totally fine too) and Codrin's initial extemporaneous post for other exemplary models.
Second order of business: address the assigned blog entries and comments. Over in the right column, under "Posts of Note," you'll find the additional entries/comments Mr. Reardon and I have asked you to complete.
Third order of business: if/when you get done with that, surf around your colleagues' blogs and make comments on posts that interest you. Restrict your commentary to the issues at hand. If someone comments on one of your blog posts, see if you can't respond in the comments section.
Tomorrow we're going to start on the concept of branding. Between now and then, think about "your" brands (clothes, electronics, restaurants, etc), if you got 'em, and your level of attachment to them.
