I’ve working on my FS course materials for weeks and as I approach the “go live” date one thing that really terrifies me is being too hasty with the “publish” button and ending up with an embarrassing array of misspellings and missing words. I mean, I can re-edit my materials after they’ve been uploaded to the server, but this is without the benefit of seeing the materials the way the students will see them. And then once the materials are “live” I can’t pull them down for any re-edits. This is not a good thing for someone like me, who is used to re-editing as many times as I want to after the initial upload. And that’s with something as brief as these brief one-paragraph blog entries. Ack! jbb
