      Michael, the link that you posted on how to organize your peers blogs was excellent! What a useful tool.
      Especially for those who do not have time to search throughout the internet to find their classmates blogs.
      When I click on the Google Reader folder, I simply hit reply to my class mate to communicate directly to him/her.
      I just recently found out that if you click on the Title of the Blogging Post, you can reply directly to his/her ‘comments’ blog.
      Every day, I am learning something new about the uses for blogging.

        Christina, that is great to hear. I notice you have been busy in your commenting in the past couple of days and I encourage you to keep it up. I’ve found that when you comment on other’s blogs, they generally return the favour. 🙂
