Careful Where You Post

Just a reminder that this is the blog where we can continue (or start) discussions relevant to the class. Those of you who are posting answers to reading questions should do so on your own blogs...

This will keep this blog to a manageable size, and make it less tempting for people to "borrow" answers.

Let me know if you want me to spend a few minutes in class on how to navigate your dashboard.

shout out to sam for putting all the questions on the blog ya'll be killin it.
