The Student Blogging Challenge is just around the corner! Time to register our class and student blogs and get ready to meet new bloggers around the world. Now that we have spent a number of months becoming acquainted with the process, we are all set to branch out and build new connections. Ripplers, please visit [...]

When the Ripplers first entered the world of blogging last September, our first priority was to learn how to comment and how to navigate successfully throughout the blogosphere. After spending some time getting used to commenting on our new class blog, we ventured out to visit other class blogs that had registered alongside us in [...]

To complete the first challenge in the class blog section of the 2010 Blogging Challenge, we need to fill our new and returning readers in on why it would beneficial to visit our blog often.
