Expanding the boundaries of authorship

By now all of the people in the course should have received an automatically generated message from Blogger inviting you to become co-authors of the weblog. This means that you have the ability to post, to comment, and generally to participate in online discussion. I have also altered the settings so that only people who are members of the group can post comments.

If you should have received an invitation but did not, please let me know. Also let me know if you should not have received one but did. Either way, I will fix it.

We can talk a bit about guidelines for posting if you care to. Although a lot of it seems self-evident (what you post should be substantive and related to the course, should advance discussion, and of course should hold to standards of etiquette), our commonly understood guidelines will probably develop more or less naturally as we go along.

The interface of Blogger is fairly intuitive, but people wanting a walk through can contact me or try the Blogger help page which addresses most common questions.
