This is the post to which you add your Warm-Up 1 task as a Comment (i.e. click on the Comment button below). When you do that, don't forget to write your name on the post! You'd be amazed how much detective work I sometimes have to do!
Warm-Up 1 asks you to write a personal presentation for a web site. This is a general message that goes out to everyone who visits the web site of the new company you've just got a job with. I.e. it needs to be informative, but a bit general - and a good piece of advertising for your new employer. In other words, you need to show how smart your new employer is for hiring you!
You'll find a couple of useful links on the Warm-Up 1 page: one from the 'How to Do Things' site with some general advice, and an example of personal presentations from the Ericsson company.
When the Warm-Ups have all been marked and sent back (by me, David), I'll post a general comment in a post on this blog, with advice for everyone about Send-In Task 1.

Welcome to the Business Writing Course
Welcome to the Business Writing course from Högskolan i Kalmar in Sweden in Spring Term 2009. My name is David Richardson, and I'm the course teacher, who's based in Kalmar. The other members of the course team are the Internet Tutors: Beth Butler, Jon Clark and Bruce Harper, who're based in Auckland, New Zealand, Valladolid, Spain and Ipswich, Australia, respectively.
This blog will be used during the course as the place you post your Warm-Up Tasks and receive general feedback and news about the course. Right now it's early January, so nothing much is happening! However, if you're reading this at all, you've probably received a 'welcome' e-mail from me, putting you in touch with your Internet Tutor. That mail will also have given you a link to the course home page. You'll notice that only the blue links are active right now. The red links will become active on course launch day, 4th February, 2009.

What you can do right now, though, is send a mail to your Internet Tutor to introduce yourself to him or her, and listen to the first podcast on the course (click on the Podcasts link on the course home page).
We're looking forward to working with you this term.
