Welcome to our online community

Hello and welcome!  If you are reading this, you are well on your way to blogging happiness.  Throughout the semester, we will use this space to continue our discussions outside of the classroom.  I will announce blog assignments in class, and post them after class in this space - so if you miss class, it's not a bad idea to check this space out and see if there are any assignments!  If you want to test this space out, please feel free to write a short post.  You might wish to pick up on some of the discussion questions from class today: what kind of writing is "literature?"  And how do we know what "good literature" or "good writing" are?  Or just introduce yourself by saying a bit about yourself, your interests, and what brings you to the class.  It's up to you.  Again, welcome!
