Setting up the blog

This is not the first time I have read or used blogs. I have used them in other classes, mostly to voice our opinions and give input about the topics we were covering. However, I had difficulty getting this blog activated. For some unbeknownst reason, it was marked as spam and would not allow me to post, giving me messages that the account needed to be verified. Today I finally received an email accepting my blog. I am now about a week behind so I need to catch up with the rest of the class.
