New Blog for my Visual Poetry class

I'm trying something new with my grad poetry MFA students at the University of Miami in Visual and Avant-garde Poetry 504. I've made a class blog! From the prior experiences of great teachers like Jean Vengua and Leny Mendoza Strobel who have used class blogs for their courses, I follow with Vispo504. If you build it will the students come, even if they are technophobes?
