The Adducted Hallux: Blogger Help

First a note on browsers:
Different browsers seem have different success rates with the Blogger platform. If you start to have trouble with your blog or posting comments, please try a different browser before contacting me. I recommend that you do NOT use Internet Explorer (8 or 9) with Blogger. It is known to be problematic, failing to register login information, post comments or show inserted pictures correctly. Safari (for you Mac users) can also be difficult. I recommend Google Chrome or Firefox. Both are free online programs and take only a few moments to install onto your computer. They both seem to work reliably with Blogger. Click the name links above to access the installation sites.

Here are a few links to help troubleshoot problems during your blogging experience on Blogger.

Fix for Commenting Issues (Third Party Cookies): If you try to post a comment and it disappears (and if you are using the correct browser and a computer, NOT your phone), then chances are your computer is set to block third party cookies. Blogger requires the use of third party cookies, so if your computer blocks them, you can't comment. How do you fix this? Click the link above.

Stay on Topic!

Anthropology and human evolution are scientific topics and they can be discussed without referring at all to religion. We don't need to mention religion or faith to discuss gravity or digestion or photosynthesis. Likewise, we don't need to mention it in a discussion of evolutionary theory.

So please stay on topic or risk losing credit for your comment. This is a science class and the conversation should be about biology and evolution and physical anthropology, not about your faith or religious beliefs. This doesn't mean abandoning or changing your beliefs. It just indicates a recognition that there are situations where religious beliefs and matters of faith are not necessary, or even appropriate, for the purposes of the discussion.

Course Blog Privacy Policy

This course blog is part of your online classroom and as your instructor I use this space to help teach you about physical anthropology.

In order for this site to be as effective as possible, I have chosen to leave it open to the public to make it easier for students to use. This does create the potential of non-students locating this blog and taking part in our discussions, people who are not bound by netiquette rules and not attempting to earn good grades in this course. Limiting non-student access would help produce the best environment for discussing this material.

As such, students will not invite individuals unaffiliated with this course to view and comment on this blog, either by word of mouth, by email or by hyperlink. Just as you would not invite non-students into an instructor's classroom without permission, you are not permitted to invite people not registered for this course to enter this online classroom.

If a student chooses to ignore this limitation, I will be required to make access to this site by invite only and the student may be dropped from the course for being disruptive. I wish to do neither but will do so if it means protecting the educational experience of the remaining students.

Thank you.
