Hey everyone,

Based on what we discussed in class, what I hear from you guys, and my own person troubles with the current blog system we have, I have a proposal for guys:

I feel the lack of posting is contributed to the following:

- Topics being flooded away
- Hard to keep up on feedback because topics are flooded away
- Login and password kicking you out of your gmail
- Login and password somewhat long and hard to remember
- Hard to look up past posts and information
- etc...

I have created a forum us to use if you would like to try it out. It's late in the semester but better late than never. It can serve as a model for future classes. The benefits are as follows:

- You create your own user name and password and profile. You can update your profile info, link you personal websites / info
- Newest posts update to top, shows who's the latest poster
- Old posts are easy to find and when someone posts, it goes to the top
- For teachers: shows how many posts a specific user has posted to grade class participation
- Other benefit.


So make a login and try to post. Repost your projects and leave feedback for others. If we can get at least one good conversation on a project then it'll have outdone blog already.

  1. This may not have been the proper forum for this as the other departments also blog here. I was under the impression that this forum would be more of a iD specific. Is your goal to replace the blog or to compliment it?
