Posts are Due Sunday
We are going to make posts due Sunday night as to allow people to include weekend progress on their posts. Make sure to be thorough about your progress for the week and the things left to be done. Also again add lots of pictures. Many of you did a great job using pictures to showcase your work. This is a great way to accomplish two things at once.

By midnight tonight, you should have two project posts. The first post is a description of your project, and the second post should be a status/progress report. Be sure to tag your posts in the Projects category. I will make a new category for your project after your first post.
