== Blog and Planet ==
A ''blog'' (short for ''weblog'') is a (usually personal) website where dated articles are posted over a period of time. In the open source community, blogs are used to announce new projects, project releases, and general information, to comment on current happenings, to record personal reflections, and to comment on other people's blog postings. Many Open Source communities aggregate posts from their community members into a [http://planetplanet.org Planet] so that it is possible to view posts from the entire community on one web page.
See the Open Source@Seneca [[Blog Guidelines]] <!-- and [[Open Source@Seneca Planet List|Planet List]] --> for information about setting up your blog and including your postings in our Planet.<!-- The OpenSource@Seneca planet is at http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/~chris.tyler/planet/-->
{{Admon/tip|Submitting Coursework|In this course, most coursework is submitted by blogging. Therefore, it is important to write blog posts frequently, with good content, writing, and links.}}
<!--{{Admon/tip|Read the Planet|It's a good idea to read the Planet several times a week. Finding out what your colleagues are doing can give you useful ideas and accelerate your own project work.}}-->

When communicating with your professor by email, please use your Seneca-provided e-mail address as the "From:" address (<code>''yourname''@myseneca.ca</code>). Because your professor receives a '''huge ''' amount of email, it's helpful if you critical to include your course code in the subject line of each of your messages.
