Consider the various Widgets or features that you can add to your blog that will enhance its appearance:

Slide show
Video imbeds
Links
Embeded sounds or movies
Photos on pages
Slide shows from your Photobucket
Alternative Templates

This is your time to be creative and to make a blog that will hold the attention of your viewer.

Population centers around the world develop for a variety of reasons. Furthermore, often these population centers are more than just big cities, they are megaopolis centers with massive populations and massive production and consumption requirements. Identify the population Centers of your region identifying their extent, location, reason for existence and uniqueness for their country. How or why did they come about.

Geographic Definition

The first step in any regional study is to define the region's geographical location. Locate several authoritative sources that describe the location of your region. Go to several maps and corroborate the source's definition of the location of your country. Write your own definition of the geographic location of your country and post it as a comment on this page. Read some of your classmate's definitions and see if you might want to refine your definition. Finally, place a link to a chart or map that you feel most demonstrates your definition.

Today (December 1st) all TMO classes start a blogging exercise examining various aspects of three Asian nations (China/Japan/India ) that have a significant impact upon U.S. economic and political affairs. Each blogging exercise will require students to find and evaluate information in order to develop individual answers that will be posted at the blog. Each answer must be substantiated with a source of information and evaluated/comprehended by the submitting student. Other students and the instructor will comment upon postings, so be sure that replies are well thought out.
