Would you like access to our class blog?  In order for you to be an authorized user, you will need to reach out to me so I can make you an author on the blog.  Please follow the steps below:

1.  Send me an email at hflatt@siue.edu with the subject line "Need Access to Class Blog."  If you have a Google (Gmail) email address give me that email address in this message.  If you don't already have a Google account, set one up before contacting me.  You'll need that account to be an authorized author on our class blog.

2.  Once I have received your email with your Google account email address, I will respond to you saying I have added you as an authorized user.  You may access the blog at howtodeliveraspeech.blogspot.com.  This is what the home page looks like.
