See that cute little print button that’s now at the bottom of each post ↓. That’s a cool little print and/or e-mail feature. Try it. Go ahead and click it. I dare you. Okay…silly, but might come in handy. I’ve enabled it sitewide so that if you want the feature on your blog you can have it too.

Much of the material I use in class that relates to essay writing comes from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s online writing center. I will be going over a great deal of it but there is a plethora of good information there and I strongly encourage everyone to explore it.

Right, in 11th and 12th grades we don’t usually go over grammar (or spelling)… very often. However there are a few words that tend to elude (or is it allude???) most people. With that in mind I highly recommend you visit the following links and add the topics into your RSS readers (because I know you were all diligent in setting one up!)

1. I’ve added a feature that will allow you to login to your site using the e-mail address that is associated with your account. So if you forget your username simply use your e-mail address and your password. Hopefully some of you will find it useful.
2. When you go to Jupitergrades for the first time you need to use your ID and password that I gave you in class (the ID is the one on your ID card from school). When it asks for the school use: soces. All lowercase, no periods. The city is reseda, tarzana or los angeles (I’m not sure which one). Hopefully this clears things up and I’ll stop being flooded with e-mails.
