Greetings--
In the composition and rhetoric community in the U.S.-- particularly for
folks concerned with computers and writing-- there are many people doing
research of different flavors on blogs. I've given a couple of
presentations about blogs at conferences, one about blogs as a tool for
scholarship and one about blogs as a (failed) tool for writing
instruction. There is a link to this last presentation (and a discussion
about the conference where I gave it, the annual Computers and Writing
conference) as what is currently the last entry of my own blog, which is at
http://people.emich.edu/skrause/blog I'm using a somewhat problematic
software to run this blog, but that's another story...
There's a woman named Clancy Ratliff who has a good blog at
http://www.culturecat.net/ and who also has links to a lot of good blogs
done by people who identify themselves as computers and writing
academic-types. Most of those folks are at a minimum using blogs in their
own writing and/or their own teaching.

Hi:
I am involved in researching and writing on blogging and I plan to write a
survey that seeks input from bloggers. I am also a blogger. I maintain a
general weblog and a grad studies weblog, which is similar to what I have
done in print for years -- maintaining several journals (personal and
professional).
Also, this week, I unveil a new workshop for journal writers. It seems to me
that a number of women use blogs as journals, which is one thing I really
want to look at.
I will gladly share information I receive when I create and implement the
survey and I would like to receive any findings other scholars on this board
would provide. Full credit, of course, would be given in the paper I will
produce.
Christine
