This is an experiment in form. Prof. Remensnyder suggested I try writing about blogging in the form of blogging itself. I decided to push it one step further and actually write this essay as a blog.
The first real post sums up my experiences with blogging about Dan Brown and my thoughts on the innovations of blogging and the internet more generally. If you're pressed for time, this post should suffice in capturing my main points.
The rest of the blog is, effectively, my evidence. It consists of a series of posts in reverse chronological order, the standard format of blogs. Each post is either a reworking of a blog post initially published on my real blog or a post that could have been written at the time. It might make for some disjointed reading, but I think it captures the flavor of blogging well.
You can print out the whole blog if you'd like, but I recommend reading it in situ. Links are a big part of what blogging is all about. To read the blog off-line would be to miss out on the hypertextuality and collaboration that suffuses so much of the internet these days.
All the posts are, so to speak, "live." Feel free to comment on any of them. It's part of what makes blogs so innovative.
