Just a quick reminder that your 2nd blog post is due on Monday, February 6th and that there are specific criteria that apply for most of you – see the Blog Assignment outline on Vista for details. Note that you need to ensure that your blog is linked properly to the blogroll this time…my offer of re-marking / looking for your post was a one time only offer valid for the first post only 🙂

Comments on Your Blog Posts
Comments have been posted to everyone’s blog registered to the 202 or 203 blogrolls. Thanks to all of you who posted. So many interesting topics and ideas, a few will be showcased in class over the coming weeks.
Please check that you received a comment on your blog. If you did NOT receive a comment it is because you didn’t link your blog to the 202 or 203 blogroll or didn’t submit a post or didn’t remove your privacy settings. If you posted by the deadline but had a problem linking your blog, please try and get it fixed through Dr. Blog and then shoot me an email at jenny.dickson@sauder.ubc.ca

Writing Improvement Program
I have been reviewing your Skills Matrix and Team Charter documents and there are a number of teams who could use some help in the areas of writing and editing. So I wanted to make sure you knew about the free Writing Improvement Program at Sauder.
The Canaccord Learning Commons hosts the program Wednesdays from 2 to 5 pm. The instructors encourage you to bring something you’re working on at the time so they can help you with it. So if you plan ahead on your assignments, you can get the help you need! And I encourage you to do so, because flow, grammar, clarity, spelling etc. are very important to me in grading your assignments (hint, hint).
Reminder to sign-up for a team before class tomorrow morning (Wed, Jan 18th class). Go to the course Vista site and then the Assignments folder to sign-up.
Each group should consist of 6 students (except for group 10 which is a group of 5, if the course registration list remains the same). Make sure you sign-up for a group in your section. You will be in the same group for all 3 assignments. Start thinking about what organization you’d like to work on and sit in your groups in class on Wednesday. See you tomorrow.
If you have an access code for the text book’s online resource ‘My Marketing Lab’, you can register it at this web address to gain admittance to the additional online help: www.pearsoned.ca/mymarketinglab
Hi Everyone,
Your Blog Assignment outline has now been posted on the vista site in the Assignment folder. See below for instructions on setting up your blog and adding it to the blogroll.
Looking forward to seeing some great creativity and insight!
Set up your blog: If you have never set up a UBC blog before, there is a great resource to walk you through it. Go to this link to Dr. Blog and follow the instructions.
Access your blog: Dr. Blog also tells you how to find and access your blog once it’s set up. https://blogs.ubc.ca/drblog/first-steps/finding-your-blog-2/
Register your blog to the Comm 296 blogroll: You must register your blog to the correct section blogroll for 296, or your classmates and I will not be able to find it. Follow these simple steps:
- Go to the course blog: blogs.ubc.ca/comm296sec103
- Enter your blog URL (e.g. https://blogs.ubc.ca/jennyd)
- Enter your last name, then first name (e.g. Dickson, Jenny)
- Enter the course password: marketing.
- Click the “Register your blog” button. The button can be finicky sometimes, so if it does not seem to be allowing you to press it, refer to the picture below for the exact spot you may have to find and click in order for it to work:
- Showing the exact spot on the “Add Link” button that you might have to click to get the widget to respond (it can be finicky!)
PLEASE NOTE: Only click the “Add Link” button ONCE! It may take some time to load, so please be patient. If you do end up adding your blog to the blogroll more than once, don’t worry – I have access to the links and will delete any duplicates. No need to email me about that.
Customize your blog: Dr. Blog is also a great resource for customizing your blog’s appearance. Have some fun and show your personality and interests! Make sure you adjust your privacy settings so we can access your blog.
Why not get started right away?
