Remember to BLOG, BLOG, BLOG, and a reminder on how to BLOG


Whenever you do something for the project, we need you to add a short post about what you did. Sign with your initials. This is important for us when we do our monthly reports. We have to say what everyone on the team has been doing.

So if you reviewed our project mission statement we need to know it! Also put your initials on the entry so Matt and I know who is doing what. 

Last night at our meeting, we learned just how important documentation is. We lost one of our pulley's for the sand filter structure. Everyone looked everywhere to no avail. Then Phil suggested we watch the video and see if we had any clues to what happened. Thanks to video documentation which caught the incident that led to the missing pulley on "tape"....we know exactly what happened and can recover it.

So if you put in a requisition form-- blog it
If you took videos- blog it
If you researched methods to get rid of e coli- blog it (even if you didn't find anything out--report what you did.)
If you did an administrative function-- blog it.....

If you need a reminder on how to blog--here are the steps.
