Blogging for grades

I thought this blogging idea is great way to relay thoughts and opinions on the selected topic. The feel is a touch on the informal side, which is a break from the structured setup I'm used to, and therefore, I feel I can reflect my thoughts on a broader scale. My only concern was the comments part. Since a blog is due by 6 pm on Weds, I felt that the due time for comments should have been due on Thurs by 6. This gives everyone a day to review each blog, instead of relying on the people that get there blogs done way ahead of schedule. Or have blogs completed by Tues. at 6. In addition, blogging also gives us an easy access to the web and we have the ability to back up our opinions with the most recent news, or obscure historical data. As far as my blog is concerned, I would probably rate around a B to C+ range. I know the comments killed my grade, but I enjoyed talking about issues, past and current, and felt I could put together a somewhat coherant thought.
