Welcome to the class weblog (or "blog") for History 100, Western Civ Sect. 034 at George Mason University. I'm stealing a good idea, and much of the language of this post, from my colleague Mills Kelly.

This weblog will be the place where each of you publishes your weekly essays. Because the Blogger software does not provide a spell-check function, you need to write your work in a word processor first, then cut and paste it into the Posting box Blogger provides. To get started, read Mills's Guide to Blogging. It's really quite simple.

In addition to being the place where you post your weekly summary, this weblog is also a place where you can leave announcements for the group, post questions, pose problems, etc. It is not a public weblog, so only members of our class have access to it.
