10-7 IMD II - Interactive Resume Documentation

Set an account at blogger.com. You will use this blog to show the progress of your interactive resume work. Each day you work on you ires post a quick journal of what you completed and show visual evidence of your work. Your in class grade will be generated from these posts so make sure you spend 5 minutes each day blogging.

Poor Example:
