What are we doing today? Feedback Review of the assignment What is a good post? Blogger vs. Bloglines Internet (How it works) Packet switching network (TCP/IP) SMTP, HTTP XML & RSS Rubric Aggregators

Assignment Think about what makes a good age appropriate post I’m noticing a lot of text with small font, could a grade 2 really read this? How is the site going to be sticky? What is the point of the blog? And this whole assignment?
