The online journal Kairos http://english.ttu.edu/kairos/ may have articles
that relate to the rhetoric od blog writing. And you might look to
Kairosnews: A Weblog for Discussing Rhetoric, Technology & Pedagogy

There's this item:
Blogging as Social Action: A Genre Analysis of the Weblog
Carolyn R. Miller and Dawn Shepherd, North Carolina State University
http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/blogging_as_social_action.html
Carolyn R. Miller seems to have a focus on rhetoric in the digital domain -
see her publications list at:
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~crm/publications.htm
Genre analysis seems to be popular - google finds some very entertaining
pieces on the rhetoric of diet blogs - "quasi religious" and "always positive".
I also think that wiki's are starting to have a distinct impact on blogging
language and rhetoric.
Regards,
Simon

Hi Willard, Rhetoric as "a persuasive way in which one relates a theme or
idea in an effort to convince." (thanks Wikipedia) as relating to blogs,
perhaps could be applied to Stephanie Hendricks Masters thesis here at
HUMlab (http://www.humlab.umu.se/):
"The Function of Language to Facilitate and Maintain Social Networks in
Research Weblogs"
the entire essay can be found at:

There's an essay by Carolyn Miller and Dawn Shepherd, called "Blogging
as Social Action: A Genre Analysis of the Weblog." It's at:
http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/blogging_as_social_action.html
Also, on digitalmedievalist.com, a couple of years ago, Lisa
Spangenberg posted an entry titled "The Rhetoric of Web Logs" (and
there's other interesting stuff in her "blogging" category:
http://www.digitalmedievalist.com/it/archive/000075.html
Finally, Jill Walker has done a dissertation on blogging at the
University of Bergen, and her own weblog jill/txt is a treasure trove
of information. For example, in the category "blog theorising" --
http://huminf.uib.no/~jill/index.php?cat=9 --
she has quite a few interesting posts:
http://huminf.uib.no/~jill/index.php?p=860 ("small-world links in academia")
http://huminf.uib.no/~jill/index.php?p=845 ("paper on blogs")
and many others. Enjoy.

There's a new and potentially interesting collection of essays/blogs/etc.
on the web now called "Into the Blogosphere: Rhetoric, Community, and
Culture of Weblogs." I haven't looked at it much yet, though I am
assigning it for my grad class in the Fall. The web page address is:

Not essays, no, but I do have some blog entries. This one is fairly typical:
http://www.digitalmedievalist.com/it/archive/000075.html
There are a fair number of composition and rhetoric specialists using blogs
as teaching tools who often post about the rhetoric of blogging; you might
try
