So, I see you’re reading the blog. Great! I’d stress again the value of doing so (read the blog!), except you are already doing it. Good thinking. But if you know somebody else in the class that isn’t reading it, you may politely question their wisdom.

I treat the blog as a place to post corrections, notes, addenda. It’s a more organized and less annoying way to disseminate information than to dump an email into everyone’s inbox every time there’s a typo or a correction. But it’s intended to be essentially that, class-wide announcements.

If you have an RSS feed reader (e.g., the one that is built into Safari, or some other reader like Google Reader, NetNewsWire), you can point it to the RSS feed, if that makes it easier for you to notice when a new post appears.
