Upgrading “Think Sideways”

The course software is getting a massive overhaul right now.  So is the writing community.  Which is the reason why the boards and classroom were closed yesterday and will be closed today.  It’s also the reason why new students cannot, at the moment, sign up.  We’re enthused enough about our progress that we’re hoping (hoping) to be able to open everything back up some time tomorrow (a day early)…

…But figure on getting in on Saturday.

You’ll notice that this is no longer a static intro to the course.  I’ve decided to maim a couple of birds with one pretty big stone, so I’ve changed this over to a blog.  Once it’s set up, students will be able to login directly from here (though if you like the fast-loading private login page, that will still be available.

Cool discussions that I note going on in the community will be excerpted here.  Only students will be able to read the full discussions, but…

As students or grad students, you’ll be able to subscribe to this blog as a weekly  update, and find out what you’ve been missing, and how to get there fastest.  You’ll also know when I’m running a survey on new features you want me to offer, and other good stuff.

You’ll get updates on news like this upgrade, too.

And I’ll have a place to post answers to some of the interesting questions I get, where everyone can read them.

If you’re a prospective student, you’ll be able to get an idea of what’s going on in the writing community, ask questions about the course, and get the same updates as students on upcoming events and news.

And if you’d like to join us, you’ll be able to do that from here, too.
