Blocking Access to Comments!

Posted in Uncategorized on October 26, 2006 by jccfundamentals

I’m so excited.  I just learned something brand new about blogging.  I’ve been beginning to get some spam on my posts, which I know Mrs. Moritz hates.

I’m really tired of managing spam!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Kimberly at 11:20 am on Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Someone please tell me what I can do about spam! I tried the auto-close plug-in, better yet one of our terrific tech support people tried to set it up for me, and it didn’t work. I’m realizing that as school starts, I’m going to be more irritated by the spam that I have to manage on this blog. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

So, I stumbled up on the ability to not allow comments to my posts.  It is under the discussion category when you write or edit a post.  I will be using this to help inforce my deadlines for posting.  My students are suppose to respond to a post by a specified date, and rather than worrying about the dates of when they post, I can just stop allowing comments when we’ve reached the end of the deadline.

This is the section that explains what all that “Logic Stuff” you had to learn in math class is useful for.  Justin will be summarizing this section for us.  Please take it easy on him, and add what you feel will be helpful to the rest of the group.  Justin, if there are areas you don’t understand, please highlight them in your paraphrasing, and hopefully a classmate can clear it up for you.   Justin please paraphrase by Monday so that the rest of the class can add to your post by Tuesday, October 24th.

Please do this project independently.  Keep in mind that I will be giving notes on Wednesday, and Friday that should help you with this project, as well as answering question to your blog.  This isn’t a class where the answer is going to present itself immediately.  You need to spend some time looking at examples in the book, thinking, and reading.  Try some stuff out on the computer to see how it works…. Hang in there, you will get it.
