I created a second blog to use for school.  I know that at some point I will need to use it for communication with my professors or classmates.  School is taking much longer than I anticipated, but I know it’ll be worth it in the long term.
My NAU blog can be found HERE.  I tried to find a theme that looked different, but I just couldn’t break away from my current theme.  Let me know if you find a similar theme in another color, or something with expandable sidebar items.
