Student Posts

My students in my writing class are now writing blogs as part of the class assignments.  There are no requirements other than to post and I thought I should do the same thing.  I only used this blog in the past for functionality checks for my website but now I am glad i have it.  My own website got hammered in a CMS upgrade and most of the data was lost.  I have to rebuild it, bit by bit, before it is completely functional.  I only started the website to learn more about website construction and sadly, I still don;t know much despite the fact that I have learned more than I ever cared to know.  Why is knowledge acquisition so painful?
