VISA1800p Blogging Begins Now!

Hello all -
This is the place where we can share important links and discoveries over the course of the semester.  Hopefully it will be a great repository of information and a site you can refer to even after the course is over.  I'm trying to make things simple (I even chose the template labeled 'simple'), but let me know if you have suggestions on how to improve the blog's efficacy.
Happy posting.
