In this class, I make a clear distinction between blog posts and pages: all of your major, formal projects\u00a0will go onto your sites as pages. The sketch assignments and all of the other shorter, low-stakes, reflective writing that you do will go onto your sites as blog posts. Pages can be edited just as posts can be, but in general they are meant to serve as static, completed, more or less self-contained pieces of writing. Blog posts are usually meant to go up onto the posts page in descending chronological order, so built into the function of a blog is that you write something and publish it, then if you have more to say on the subject or want to revise what you wrote\u00a0in a major way, you do so by just writing a new blog post rather than going back to the original and restructuring it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another clear distinction between posts and pages: posts syndicate but pages do not (because syndication is predicated on the idea of a frequently updating and changing posts page — static pages don\u2019t need to syndicate because, well, they are more or less static). We are relying on syndication to the course site as the means of collecting all of the work that you do on your sites into a central location, but if your major projects go onto pages and pages don\u2019t syndicate then how will they be included? When you complete one of the major assignments, you will write a blog post, linking to the landing page for the assignment. I\u2019ll generally ask you to write something reflective about the work that you\u2019ve done in those blog posts. Sometimes I might ask that you provide a summary or abstract of the argument, perhaps framing the post as an announcement meant to entice readers to check out what you\u2019ve done akin to a teaser<\/a> in journalism.<\/p>\n

One last point: for the purposes of this class, at least, all blog posts and all pages should be multimodal and should include multiple media<\/strong>. You should not publish a page or a post that is composed entirely of text.<\/p>\n
