First Post to start blogging for the class

Today is my first day to start blogging for the class. I really like the idea of collaborating with other teachers and using ideas and information. The only thing that I feel is redundant about blogging for the class and the discussion is that I feel like I just honestly repeat myself about the same thing pretty often. I wish that I could get posts from peeps that are not in the class in addition to my fellow classmates so that I would get additional info. Is anyone feeling my pain?
