Recently in my CIS 349 class I offerred the students a deal. Start a blog, post to it throughout the course and I will give back 1 assignment worth of points. Any deficiency will be updated to full credit.

I did this because I think blogging is a great way to get your name out there, learn some writing skills past email and just explore what you have learned and sometimes to looks back at where you were.

So I had studens scoff at the idea and about 6 sign up at one or more of the free blog sites. One student even downloaded an open soure blogger and implemented it. Great job!

And now on blogs.msdn.com there is a post from a MS employee about how to get noticed. How to get a job. First suggestion? Start a blog!
