Blogson C. Blake Powers emails from Purdue, where he's doing good work with blogs as a learning aid for the university's advanced biosciences programs:
"I am helping someone put together some proposals for panels at the Blogworld & New Media Expo. As a part of this, I would like to see if Winds readers would be willing to let us know of their favorite university blogs, including student blogs.
Comments, or e-mails to wolf1, over at laughingwolf dot net would be very much appreciated."
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Lots of folks end up blogging from universities and many of them are project centric, helping users of those projects through easy to use/implement software. These projects can have a variety of foci, but are particularly useful for multidisciplinary projects. Many of these blogs are not made available to the outsite world, unlike many of the personal blogs created/maintained by university faculty and students.
Holler, yall...
You know, I was pondering which post to comment on, to hawk my blog say something intelligent. Then I saw this post, so no need to ponder further, right?
I am 20 years old, a student at the University of Notre Dame. My blog is at http://the-ts-maven.blogspot.com .
I/it was cited in the WSJ for gaming the elections prediction markets and calling them out for being wrong, if it makes you feel better.
But the timestamp for the archives is off by a week, aggravatingly enough. (If you click on the 10.29.2006 archive, the URL it sends you to says it's the 11.05 archive. Annoying.)
Cheers.
Thanks, and I will be passing that URL along!
