Blogs
Just wanted to say how impressed I am with how good all the blog entries are. After bitching and moaning early in the term, I've been very happy with the way everyone is writing in their blog. In a perfect world, I'd like a little more interaction and commenting, but the entries themselves are all that I could wish for! Thought you might like to ( Read more... ) -
