Learning in community

Well, four months have gone by now. I've learned a lot -- how to make video wallpaper, how to podcast, how to vodcast, and how to combine all of this onto a website. It's been fun teaching these multi-meaning systems and exploring how to put it all together especially since there are so many eager "readers" of these genre.

Along the way I began to network with many good insights from this list:
