AS & A2: Blog! Blog! Blog!

A reminder to many of you who seem to have forgotten that maintaining your blog regularly is a required part of the course. You need to be regularly updating your blog reflecting on the progress of your coursework and the decisions/revisions that you make.

Please make more of an effort to do this!
