One of the first things that I have learned in my blogging journey is that one cannot expect to generate a discussion unless one actually allows comments to be made to one's blogsite! Grrrrrr.
I was at a blogging and wiki training course today, and mentioned that I was disappointed about the lack of comments to my blog topics. I thought that they would generate interest from those who checked them out, and was surprised that not one person had bothered to comment. Well, my instructor asked me if I had actually enabled anyone to do so. When I looked at him blankly, he said that I needed to set the blog to do so. I have now done so, and anyone (not just those with a Google account) can comment on my postings.
I hope that you do so, because I really would love to have a dialogue with (and between) parents about some of the important issues and advances taking place at Walker. Commenting is easy and fun - just click on the comment link that accompanies each post, and start typing! I hope to read YOUR comments soon.

Thank you for getting educated about technology. You are leading by example! My girls start middle school next year and the year after. I am excited for them.
Blair,
I am fairly web savvy and only now noticed the "Principal's Corner." I, like Kitty, think it should be made more noticeable. I believe you will get more feedback that way.
Also, have you considered having the "This Month in Middle School" section edited? I can certainly see the value of having the present month to the end of tbe year listed, but it starts in August. For those who find the web daunting, they won't take the time to scroll through all of the events that have already happened.
In general I hope this blog and the associated comments take off. I would love to see this become a timely way for parents and administration to connect!
Just some of my thoughts -- are you sorry you asked??
Claudia
