First week of blogging

I am starting a course on blogging. I hope to be able to use the technical skills I learn as well as a critical approach to using blogs as a teaching tool.
So far in this course, I have been receiving too many emails, but I always find this a problem when communicating online. Some of the links on our first week assignments page are not working. Other texts that I was able to access hadn't been edited. Well, I hope these are just beginner's complaints.
