(Jedediah Sanger--founder of the "Land of Hope and Dreams")Welcome first time Bloggers!
Basic Blog rules:
1. Keep your posts mature and appropriate to the material we are reviewing. That means no put-downs or crude language (this includes textspeak).
2. Use a name that we can all identify you by. Nicknames like "SuperBlogger" will not be tolerated.
3. Keep your questions material specific--demonstrate that you know something about a topic, and ask a question that digs for a deeper understanding.
Example: I was wondering about Daniel Boorstin's bias concerning the Quakers--do you think that the Quakers were just a convenient example to advance his ideas concerning Native-colonist relations?
What not to do: What is up with Nathaniel Bacon? or Puritans--what's the story with them?
Such questions make it difficult to have good conversations, as they would ordinarily require a response that takes a page or two in your text.
Finally, and most important, you do need a valid email address to create a blogger posting account. So when you try to post a comment or question, follow the basic sign in procedures.
Okay, lets get started.
