I don’t want to just sit here and begin talking about how I have been writing all of my life and how I have kept a diary for years, so I won’t, I will simply begin my first weblog entry, by saying, “I am stepping into new territory, and I do not know the ins and outs of this weblogging-blogging-logging-bloggorama that my college professor loves.” —Amanda Cochran
—First Time for Everything (Girl Meets World)
Stand back — here come new bloggers!
Amanda is taking both of the classes in which I introduced blogging this week. She’s distinguished herself by her enthusiasm and her love of writing (and by the fact that she happens to be in all three classes I teach this term).
She’s everything that I love about Seton Hill — the positive outlook on life, the cheerful enthusiasm, and the eagerness to roll up her sleeves and get to work. Amanda has confided a few private worries, as well — and that’s part of the game. Here’s hoping that Amanda’s weblogging excursion is a rewarding one.
If you have the chance, check out some of the other student blogs on a new group site, New Media Journalism @ Seton Hill University.
Plugs: Thanks to the administration at Seton Hill University for giving this project the go-ahead. And thanks to the good folks at MovableType, who are letting me set up a free blog for any student or staff member at Seton Hill. Dave Cornelson of Placet Soultions, Inc. is hosting the site for a very reasonable fee.

Ok, I clicked on the expand icon and the chart was easier to see but some bars still looked black not red or blue.
Interesting figure. Can you make the chart larger or the bars wider since it is difficult to tell what color some are. Can you also do one sorted by number of entries?
This blog entry got me thinking about what would eventually turn into a presentation at the 4Cs in San Antonio.
