How do I use this dang thing???

I got an email from one student with some really good questions - here are some answers for all of you:

-With regard to the blog and the question/s due on Tuesday before 5pm, is/are the question/s to be from any of the readings, and is the objective to spark discussion/s in class?  Does it have to be a question?  Could it be a statement?
The questions/comments should come in response to the reading. They should be directed to your peers for discussion (a question about, say, the biography of the author would be one I would imagine would be a lousy discussion question, as it would be directed toward me and I could give you the facts and then there's not much to talk about). Comments are as good as questions, but don't blow your participation grade by writing essays on the blog. Keep it short so we still have something meaty to talk about when we get together.



-How/where do I subscribe to the RSS feed for the blog?  This is the first time I have done anything with a blog...
Right at the top of the page there's a button that says "posts" with a little radio-wave logo...click on that and updates of the blog will be sent to your Google, Yahoo, or other pages....If you cannot navigate the subscription thing, just remember to check the blog daily for announcements. It's meant to be a easy, low-stress means of getting out info, not a burden.

Questions like this can go on the blog, because that way we can all get the answers at once. Thanks and hope all are well. Someone please post photos from Storm King and Dia.
