Willkommen beim Blog aller Blogs!

Welcome to the blog for German 102!
In order to be able to post here, you must set up an account and send me your e-mail address.
In addition to your blog entries for class, feel free to post other fun stuff related to German. It depends on you how interesting this blog will turn out to be. Furthermore, you can also comment on somebody else's entry instead of posting your own - if your answer is still connected to whichever topic is assigned.
You will all be invited to the blog and can familiarize yourself with it - as you notice, everything is in German, but since most of you are familiar with blogs, it will be easy to find your way around.
On the right side and on the bottom are some links to German news, a radio station that you can listen to online, and Germany's oldest soap opera (my guilty pleasure).
Viel Spaß beim Ansehen und Schreiben!

A note about typing special characters:

For the ß and all the umlaut characters, you have two options. First, you can type the assignment out in Word and use the Word shortcuts for the umlauts and ß.

ß - Ctrl+Shift+& then click s
ä, ö, ü - Ctrl+Shift+: then click the letter to which you want to add the umlaut

From there, copy and paste the text into the text box for the blog.

Temporarily, the other option is to type two "s" for the ß.
For the umlauts, type the following characters:
ä - ae
ö - oe
ü - ue
