I'd like to call attention to a new citizen in the blogosphere, Spectacular! Spectacular!, the online journal of my University Writing course for next semester: "Making a Scene: Spectacle as Persuasion."

Thanks to George and Chuck for suggesting blogger as a place to base the site--looks very user-friendly. Let's just hope we can keep it fairly spamless.

As things get rolling in January (when the semester starts, and the site should light up like a pinball machine, I'd love it if the normal herders traffic to this site might amble over occasionally to comment on studetn work. There's nothing to convince students of a public readership than readers they don't know . . . Especially ones with advanced degrees.

I'll be putting the site up on the blogroll shortly.
