Ways to help Annette stay sane
OK, I've finally finished going through all of your blogs and responses. I've really enjoyed reading them and seeing you respond to each other! There are some requests I would like to make though that shouldn't be too much trouble for you, but may help me iron out the kinks in the process for me.
1) If you're going to respond to more than one blog (I encourage this!), then please let me know which one I should respond to and "grade." If you're really active in your responses, I'll probably throw an extra point on your response grade, but I'd like to focus my comments on one of your responses. This will also help you concentrate your critical energies on one response so you can feel free to be more chatty in your extra responses.
2) Once you've gotten your response and point total for the week from me, I'd like for the responsibility to report extra points to be yours. Please doublecheck and let me know if I've overlooked responses to your posts. Also, please let me know if more responses happen before the Weds deadline so I can tally them up. Otherwise, once I've sent out my responses to you, it will be hard for me to make sure I've caught all the responses to your posts.
3) Please make your timestamp on your blog posts say the date, too. Many of you have blog templates that only show the time and this makes my sorting out of your posts and responses more confusing. You can change this under Settings-->Formatting-->Date Header Format. Just choose any of the options with a date.
I think that's it for now. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with one another and me! Let me know if you have ideas on how we can streamline this process, too.
