Getting started with the blogging challenge
Today we are starting the Student Blogging Challenge week 1.

So far there are nearly 800 individual students and 115 classes registered. The participants represent 25 countries and 6 continents.
Our tasks for today are to create an About Me page and put information in it, add an avatar, visit another blog and add a comment.

This symballoo has some information about avatars, but we are rather going to use www.cartoonify.de
We must remember not to yap our yappy and give out personal information
We must also write good comments on other people’s blogs.
