Blog Tools

You will notice I made some changes to the blog.  I want it to be useful to you.  In the right hand column there is a RSS feed for This Day in History from the History Channel.  You can click on the link and see other events that happened on this day.

Just below that you will see a link - History According to Bob.  Bob Packett is a history professor and he publishes free history podcasts.  Our family listens to him frequently and we own several of his cds.  He is currently in the midst of a series on the Civil War, and he also just released a cd collection of his French and Indian War podcasts.  His podcasts are usually 10 minutes each or less and I highly recommend them!

I have also added an email gadget.  Each of you are already signed up to recieve the posts to your email accounts, but now if your parents also want to recieve posts they can sign up for them using this gadget.  (This one allows for an unlimited number of email addresses.)

There is also a Featured Political Cartoon.  When I can find appropriate cartoons I will post cartoons from the time period we are studying otherwise they will be current ones.

You will also find a link to the Roadmap Website for your convenience.
