Running down items needing to be done:

• Schedule a 30 minute block of time to review your ds106 portfolio Between Monday April 30 and Friday, May 4. Use this wiki page to schedule a time. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, YOU CANNOT PASS THIS CLASS. Is that clear?

Scheduled my meeting in the last slot open on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m.

• Organize your blog to be able to show Assignments by type, examples of course participating, daily creates, tutorials written (4), assignments created (4), best of work.

My blog is now organized fully by type featuring a drop down menu on the home page and an assignments page detailing: Audio, Best of, Comments, Design, DS106 thoughts, Original Assignments, Remix, Tutorials, Video and Visual.

• Archiving Your Blog
  • You are required to create a backup on UMW Blogs. We will go over the export/import process in class on Tuesday (and I will make sure their is a video as well for online folks). We will be creating a holding spot for your work on UMW Blogs that will be using your domain as the blog’s name.
  • Edit Your profile on the ds106.us site to indicate the URL for your UMW archive blog.
  • Indicate the future of your blog: Will you be keeping it? Letting it go? Would you like to migrate to Hippie Hosting service and receive free webhosting indefinitely? WHAT A DEAL! Details of this offer can be found here —and the coupon code is ds106is4life

I have created my archived UMW blog at http://dcrump.umwblogs.org/ and have added it to my profile on the main ds106 site. Sadly I will not be keeping my blog after this course is over.

Suggestions to include the idea behind/inspiration behind it; what does it mean to you? what is the story? what makes it storytelling?
