Hello class,

Great job, everyone, on the blog posts and comments so far. Prof. Rosenberg and I encourage you to sustain the quality of discussion throughout the semester.

If you have not done so already, please change your “Display name publicly as” name in the Dashboard to your first and last name. To do this, go to “Profile” on the left sidebar, then scroll down until you see the “Display name publicly as” dropdown menu. Select your first and last name. If they do not appear, fill them out in the fields above. This way Prof. Rosenberg can clearly see who you are when you post and make sure you get credit for participating in the week’s blogging/commenting. I see a few of this week’s bloggers have either their username, just their first name, or their name without a space between first and last names displaying currently. You also don’t have to sign your name on your blog posts or comments — the system does that for you automatically.

Also, I’ve activated the site so that when someone comments on your post, you will receive an email. I encourage the original posters to reply to comments as you see fit.  Everyone should also check the box that reads “

Thanks!
