If you plan to get ahead and create the required blog you will be doing the first night for homework, please review the following:

This is the west house blog from last year.  On the right hand side you will see student names, click on one to see examples.

http://2011westsideseniorprojects.blogspot.com/

We will have one blog for 2012 versus 4 in 2011.

The blog should have:
(1) Title:  First name's senior project
(2) Name and Topic (don't put your last name, just last name initial
(3) Place for your EQ, but no EQ
(4) Right hand side should be 3 gadgets (labels, search box and archives)

Where do you set up the gadgets?  In layout.  If you can't figure it out, do your best and when school starts or if you are on campus and I am there, just ask and I will show you.
