Welcome to Subcultures in the Digital Age

Greetings and salutations students and friends. According to the description above this is a blog written by an anthropology class.
According to the picture above it must be true! After the jump I'll introduce myself, the instructor, and the class idea for Anthro 302: Subcultures in the Digital Age!

Writing Blogs for Drunk Students

(This post was originally posted on January 28, 2015. I am changing the post date to make sure none of my new students miss it. As a gentle reminder, this post, along with all others on this blog that are dated in 2016 are required reading for this class. Sincerely, your GM for AN302, Krista-Lee.) 

Hello Larvae,

My name is Patrick S. Tomlinson. I'm an author and stand-up comedian here in Milwaukee, and I am currently hung over, something I'm sure many of us share. I also run a modestly successful blog, which is why your professor asked me to write a short introductory post about writing content for the internet.

And I can tell you with confidence that if you really want to drive traffic to your blog or website, your best bet is strong pornography. People really eat that stuff up. The stranger and more specific the better...

I'm being told that's a no go. Fine, we'll do it the hard way then.
