Jason, the blog itself has a great name; hope that we'll need to use the map of the Bays of Limsa Laminas at some point during the semester. I was very interested to learn about your English tutor job. I wouldn't make it more than 5 minutes -- I could never write a word for word lecture in advance! Not my style. I noticed I started to get restless at the end of the first subhead, and when I read "Practice and Drill" as the next subhead, I didn't want to keep reading. A tip? Use your Limsa Lominsa/Hokey Pokey knowledge to come up with intriguing alternate words so that the reader will be tricked into continuing to read: for example, "How to Attain Master Ninja Level and Earn 200,000 bonus points," could be your subhead; your first line could be: The short answer is "Practice and Drill." Does this make sense. Good work, Mr. Margatroid. (Wish you had spelled it "Murgatroyd," because it would have had all kinds of cultural referents for me, from something that a favorite cartoon character in the Sixties used to say -- "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" -- to my favorite stripper turned professional on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," Peta Murgatroyed. But that's a minor quibble...)
