Dec 15

Hey everyone,

Even if no one is checking the blog anymore, I’d like to thank everyone for a great class and lots of fun discussion.  I hope our paths cross again (and often) throughout our careers at Baylor and beyond.  I have a blog now, I don’t know if I’ll be faithful to it or not, but it can be found here.  Thanks again and have a great Christmas break, guys.

Sorry, all, for my obvious lack of activity these past few weeks on this blog.  I have been attempting to find a home for my podcast and hopefully, a blog which I’ll continue even after FYS.  I decided to settle on tumblr–it’s easy and has a smooth interface for both myself and (possible) visitors.  The blog features both the video and audio editions (revised, as per Dr. C’s request) for your viewing/listening pleasures.  Thanks for the interest.

On another note, I found the searching for a good “blogspot” was, like most things involved with this class, very recursive.  I actually searched technorati along with google for reviews on blogsites.  This means, essentially, I was searching for new media within new media and blogs about blogging.  Surely this would be biased, I thought, and this presents a problem.  There aren’t, to my knowledge, many people who are willing to review blogs and the many features of them without being a blogger themselves.  To this end, those who review these blogs who are bloggers are very much biased to the service they use.  It was difficult to find out what the issues with a site were unless I logged on and used it myself.  I ended up deciding to use tumblr because every aspect of it was simple, including the RSS feed system… which is now what I am most interested in.
