As of this instant (this post is, in fact, an in-class assignment), this blog is now subject to grading. Thus far I have been using it almost exclusively to archive things I've had published, but as part of Suzanne Levinson's online journalism course I will now be blogging almost daily on, well, online journalism. Suzanne Levinson is the director of site operations for the Miami Herald's website. Because I spent some slow time during my internship at The Lutheran registering and setting up this blog I have a bit of a head start, and I think having some motivation to blog regularly will be positive. I also intend to set up a blogroll so as to keep up with my peers and classmates, which I've probably been in need of.
As for the course, I'm encouraged. During an editorial meeting for The Miami Hurricane (new site! Check it out.) last week it was made abundantly clear by a guest speaker that web producing skills are a must, so the class should be a great opportunity to get some experience in multimedia and the like.
Thoughts: The title of this post is terrible. The monitors in this Mac lab are absolutely glorious, though. Also, it's remarkable that four years in, I am somehow in a journalism class in which I know no one.
