blogging as a research tool

#2

ok - i thought i should add to this.

this is kind of my own thematic analysis of thoughts as we go on. i state this with the meaning that i am rambling on specifically about blogging here and about other stuff in my other blog.

Some thoughts about blogging - firstly i have found a number of good articles about the process - needless to say i have found them and not yet read them!!! that's the next step.

I am pretty sure that no-one will read these posting which raises an issue about what a blog is - and when does a blog become a focus group or focussed discussion???? One good thing about thiking that no-one reads it - i'm sure i can probably check that somewhere- is that i can be free in what i write - if no-one reads it then no-one can get offended or try and sue me. But then again maybe i'll keep it tame anyway. As a young proffessional you don't want to piss too many people off - i'll wait until i'm established enough to do that.

Do i enjoy blogging - not really, although i've been enjoying typing this entry coz it's mainly a ramble it's not the same as scribbling things down and being able to doodle at the end of the page. Maybe i haven't really got into it yet - for instance i'm not really feeling inspired to put any piccys on here - although maybe that's also part of thinking that no-one i going to read it.

i come back round to what is a blog? is it useful as a research tool and when this thing says it's having difficulty connecting to the host does it mean that when i publish it, it will be lost - only one way to find out
