Both sections:
Go to wordpress.com, the host of this blog, and create an account for yourself. Once you’ve created an account for yourself, let me know by posting a comment to this assignment.
If you already have a wordpress account, simply post a comment to the assignment.
One of the big advantages of using a blog to manage course materials is that discussion capabilities are built in. If you respond to lecture notes and/or assignment posts with your questions as they come up (rather than saving it for the next class and struggling on your homework), I or other class members can provide you with help in a convenient time frame. And the only way you can post a comment to my blog is to have a wordpress account. (This cuts down on spam.)
WordPress.com has a big button in the upper right that lets you create an account or blog. You don’t need to create a blog to have an account, creating an account is free, and I never get unwanted email from wordpress. (In other words, there is no downside.) If you have problems creating an account, email me, or see me during the day.
