Instructions on using this website

This is our chance to get to know one another better as we enjoy and think about all the stories that we'll be reading together. We all have one big thing in common: we're all studying this thing called British Literature. I think that's a great start already.

First, a short introduction to this blog.

* I will try to post (to write) at least once a week. I will write about things that I and we talked about in class, and about our reading.

* You can also create posts (like this one) yourself. Just send me what you want to write by email, and I will post it with your name.

* It's easy to reply or to add to things that are already here. At the bottom you will see "O comments" or "1 comment" or whatever number of comments we have. Click on that, and a box will open up. Here you can type your comment. Then, under this box, you will see "Select profile..." Choose "Name / URL," and just type your name. Then your wonderful comment will be published, for everyone to see and enjoy!

* If you want to comment anonymously, without your classmates knowing who you are, you can do that too. If you want to write about something very personal, for example. Because literature is so personal, isn't it?

* We will not have a lot of writing homework in this class. I know that often you don't feel like writing, you don't have the inspiration. That's why we have this blog instead. When you get an exciting new thought, or even a question, late at night, write it here! Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
