Welcome to the Wikidot site.
I initially thought I would get a barrage of email messages alerting me to your site applications. Instead, I apparently needed to manually check my Admin page in order to accept your membership requests. I'm pretty sure there's an option I can turn on that will make it easier for me to be alerted via email, but I've yet to find it.
In the meantime, let that be a "warning" of-sorts to you all: there might be times when you need to keep track of certain changes and/or site updates, but you may not get an email alert. So I guess we all have to check our profile pages here every once in a while. And your own course site, of course. Maybe we can set a rule that after every meeting, we should log on to check?
For now, how are you all doing with the site so far? There's not much on it yet, of course, but are you beginning to get an idea of how flexible and useful this resource can be? I certainly hope so.
For now, post in the forums, leave comments, practice making pages, etc. Let's see what you can do with the site, and let me know if there are any problems.
