I have a question. When I go to Professor Perez's main page on her blog, on the left hand side are the list of all of us in the class. Some people have the orange and white blogger symbol next to their names whereas others have a dot next to their names. What's the difference? On some pages my alias shows up with the blogger symbol next to it and on some pages it shows up with the dot thing. Just wondering if that means anything. Thanks.

Molly McMuffin - the only think I can see a difference when added the students to my blog list is that the ones with a "B" symbol or 'blogger' symbol next to their name was a blog that they had posted. If the student hadn't posted a blog yet, there was no "B" next to their name. Other than that, I have no idea what the different would be.

me010400 said...

Rina Sutaria said...

thebloggingprof - that makes sense but I have made a blog (my first post) and there is no B or blogging symbol next to my name. Uh oh, I hope you can view my blog.

Kari said...

Hopefully my name is correct.. I've never used this thing before and probably wouldn't know how confused I really was.

In Chapter 1, I have a question. Who are the Sophists' modern counterparts? Does modern men today? or Modern Period described in our text?
