New Blog

Hi,

I have started a blog that I want to promote. I am a history professor at a two year university in Texas and I have created a blog I want to tie to my classes. The blog will put current events into historical context to try and help students understand how history is relevant today. It's just a place where I factcheck things and try to help them understand how bad history is used and interpreted.

The reason I want it promoted is because starting this summer and fall I want to begin assignments where they post and it's better if the reward has an audience. That requires promotion which I suck at. I don't usually promote myself, but I do know I need traffic on the blog.

It's called Today's History http://jlwtodayhistory.blogspot.com

The first post is about the Rodman/North Korean trip if anyone is interested. I can't make people read but this is just promotion so if you don't mind checking it out.

I thank you in advance.
