What's next with the paper?

I've been discussing the development of the paper with each class:

These are general observations:

1- Thesis: "In this paper I'll defend the idea that" "In this paper I will argue in favor of..."
2- Avoid long wordy paragraphs that go nowhere. Go straight to the point.
3- Don't try to overreach yourself. It's better to discuss a couple of points than pretend to cover the entire subject matter.
4- Avoid sounding bombastic, "I will analyze" instead of "I will logically analyze."

I'd like to have two-and-a-half pages, this Thursday (for T,R 9:50am class), Friday (for MWF 11-1:50am class) and next Tuesday for (T 5:40pm class). 

This should include, revised title, revised introduction, your position, your opponent's position and about one or two paragraphs into the discussion. 

The paper is to be sent to my email address: atriff@mdc.edu

Please, in addition to your name, specify class & time. for example:

Philosophy Paper, John Doe, Phi 2010 MWF 11am

Format: Times New Roman, 12 point font. Double spaced. Spell and Grammar checked

or fouг years away from �100million but I don't feel it crosses that line. Show details of market research or for gauging interest. Paint a vivid picture of what she wants to say. The following guidelines should ensure a smooth ride ahead.

I drop a comment each time I appreciate a post on a site or if
I have something to add to the discussion. It is triggered by the fire communicated in the article I browsed.
And on this article "What's next with the paper?". I was moved enough to drop a comment :-P I do have a couple
of questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or do a few of these remarks come across as if they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at other online sites, I would like to follow you. Could you list the complete urls of your communal pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had
to ask!
