I'm always happy to answer questions or help out with any problems! Please feel free to email me or to post questions, comments, concerns, or ideas on this page. I'd certainly love to hear ideas and reactions from other people who use blogs in the classroom in any capacity.

Otherwise, "bots" (automated programs) can grab your email address and use it for spam mail. This only applies when your email would actually be showing on the page; many comments sections on blogs ask you to enter your name and email - as long as it states that your email will not be displayed, it is fine to do so.
