I enjoy watching the list of member blogs grow, and I beseech you to set up your blog sooner rather than later, given that your first Short Assignment (and, consequently, blog post) has a deadline of 5:00 p.m. this Friday. I enjoy, also, watching your blog personae develop and change, reflected in how you title the blog, what description you provide, and what backgrounds you choose. There are several schools of thought on what and how to title a blog. Should titles serve as factual, literal depictions of the purpose or the task? Can they serve as representations of the rhetorical exigencies therein? Should they be creative for creativity's sake? My advice will always be this: in a live act of discourse such as this one, remember that the act of critically engaging your audience(s) begins here -- at the title. Engage us. Critically.
