Last week of class

I was thinking about the welcomeness of certain blogs and I made a list of a few things that I feel constitute whether or not I feel welcome. One of the items on the list was language and along with that intellect. If I don't understand the words used or the concept, I won't feel interested or welcome. The other item was shared experience, which we talked about in class today. It is always nice to talk about something you have actually been through or to see how someone else reacted to a similar familiar event. I feel like that really is one determinant in feeling welcomed. 

We used the word, "boundedness" in class to describe a blog and I was a bit confused on what that meant. I finally got a working definition of "grokking" though. :)
