Stay calm - focus on the basics
I know there's a lot of information coming at you quickly. It will become as familiar as e-mail to you shortly, with a little practice - promise!
Just 2 clarifications:
1) What's the difference between a POST and a COMMENT?
A POST is authored by the blog sponsor - in our case, me. A COMMENT is authored by any of our team members. Remember this blog has been set up to only allow team members to contribute (as opposed to the entire web community!). For us, that's all registered course participants.
As the course continues, you will be allowed to author posts on this site (initiate conversations, ask questions, solicit ideas & feedback) and ultimately, you'll author your own blog spot and facilitate that for your students.
2) In what order do POSTS and COMMENTS appear?
Here's the thing - and it will take a little time to get used to....
POSTS appear in REVERSE chronological order, with the last, most recent entry at the top. The older stuff gets pushed to the bottom of the screen.
Post 3 Thursday
Post 2 Wednesday
Post 1 Monday
COMMENTS appear in chronological order, with the oldest, first entry at the top. The newest stuff appears at the bottom of the list.
Comment 1 Tuesday
Comment 2 Wednesday
Comment 3 Friday
OK, any questions? You can post a couple of quick comments to see how the chronology develops.

I understand the chronological order.
This will take a little getting used to but without the pressure of school during the summer, I think I will have it down pat by September.

I should make sure to proofread better! I meant WHAT area I'm commenting on!!!
