Work for July 8

Today, we begin work on the first major project in the course. Please complete these tasks:

• If you have not registered on the forums, follow the instructions in the 7/7 post to do so by 11:55 PM today. I will turn off open forum registration at midnight to lock out the spammers. Forum posts are part of your participation grade for the course.

• Discuss the advice on writing bio statements in the Readings for Project 1 topic in the forums.

• Begin making plans for your first project. You will post some preliminary details on your audience and purpose tomorrow.

• 

  If you have any questions (today or in the future) about the assignment, go to the Questions about Project 1 topic in the forum and add them. You can skim through this topic for answers as well.

• When I’ll reply to any questions: I am at West Virginia University this week, at a digital publishing and accessibility seminar. I am in sessions during the day. Look for replies after 9 PM Eastern.
