As you begin work on your second blog entry, think about how you might improve what's already there as well. Some of you might want to consider adding a brief introduction near the top of your layout so that first-time visitors can quickly understand the focus of the blog. Experiment with design elements to improve the visual aspect of your blog. Add photos, graphics, video, sound, links, polls and other multi-media elements to create interest.
Remember that I expect you to revise the text in your posts based on what you are learning in class about editing prose. How can you make your prose leaner and more direct? Would applying "The Paramedic Method" help eliminate awkward and wordy sentences and passive voice constructions?
Whenever you make a new post or write a story, you need to research, report, write, revise, and edit (then revise again and edit once more).
