The assignment blog structure

By now, as I have travelled from my initial idea of having a blogging assignment, to the current setup, I realize that it's structure may need some explanation. It will most likely be difficult for you the first time you try to get sense of the following. But, when you have completed the assignment it will be crystal clear - proof that you have learned a lot of new things!

This blog (AE DBE blog) is where I blog as your teacher. Here I inform you about the assignment, course materials, and when important events unfold.

Each one of you will create your own blog. The following explains how we keep track of all the blogs created throughout the assignment:

1. Everyone may visit the specific teacher/student blogs in order to read and comment them. This will of course be cumbersome as the number of class blogs grows.
2. Everyone may personally subscribe to the teacher/students blogs using a feed aggregator (also called news readers), for example, Bloglines. The feed to the AE DBE blog is available under "Subscribe & Aggregate" header in the right hand column here.
3. The Bloglines user "aedbe" will contain a subscription of this blog and all of the student blog's feeds. The latter are organized into folders according to each student's work group. Every individual student is responsible for registering her or his blog on the Bloglines account aedbe@bat.se. This allows me to keep track of all blogs. All of us may visit the publically available subscription list at http://www.bloglines.com/public/aedbe.
4. I highly recommend you to at least subscribe, using a news reader of your own choice, to AE DBE blog and the blogs belonging to students in your particular work group. In this fashion you will conveniently monitor the information most important to you as you work with the assignment.
5. (update June 13: I will not provide any aggregated feed using FeedDigest).

Good luck - you are about to enter the blogosphere!
