context of academia vs. free blog

It's been one of those days -- got to work, and the power was out; thought it was going to be an easy day, and five minutes after getting to work, the power came back on, and students poured in for tutoring. It's been one of those days -- students were frustrated, thinking their essays were "perfect" and shocked that we actually made them work on them more; they're finding out that essay-writing is not the easiest thing in the world. It's been one of those days and it's not over yet.

So, I was absent on Monday, and even though the requirements for our blog was explained beautifully by my two groupmates, I can't help but still be concerned about our subject matter within each blog, especially after checking out another group's blog.

Given the purpose of the blog, should we use it to discuss the readings, especially Selber (who seems to overcomplicate the simple with techno-jargon and critical theory), and use it to grasp a better understanding of the texts? Or, should we simply blog about whatever happens to interest us at the time? Or, should we mix it up? Or, did I completely confuse the purposes of the project and make you go, "What?!" Because, and I feel I have to say this, I'm easily confused, and I feel that others should be just as confused as me so I'm not all alone in my confusion. ;-P (j/k).
