First thing that you want to do today is complete that lab that some of you got started on last time. The template for it is in the blog from Friday, Sept. 21. Copy and paste it into today's comment space. You can fill in the appropriate spaces right in the blog comment space.
This is an experiment. Let's see how it works. You may find that it is easier, that after you have cut and pasted, you want to delete text that is not part of the question to make it look not as cumbersome.
