Yesterday I participated in the Great Grain Relay with some other Red River staff members. I agreed with a friend of mine to write something for her wellness newsletter and I will have to spare the details. As soon as the newsletter comes out, I will link to the details.

Keep Plugging Away
In Word 2007 and 2010, there is an option to publish a post as a blog entry. I wrote a book talk on Suzanne Collins' last two novels in 'The Hunger Games' long ago. How long? Try January 30th.

For a little while I kept the blog mostly to myself. The idea of people knowing about it kept me nervous and it's not like I never kept a blog before. I completed a creative writing class, complete with reading out loud for classmates to offer advice, and it felt right to go ahead with … Continue reading The Three Goals of Blogging
Rules for the Road
Students now blog or tweet as part of their studies. Many already do it on their off time, but why do it as part of their studies if they already know how to 'do it'. Setting up a blog or a Twitter account is more than just a username, password, and may be CSS for … Continue reading Rules for the Road
