Blogging about blogging

As Walt Crawford likes to imply, metablogging can be a path to a boring navel-gazing blog. But in the last few days, I have benefited from other people's thoughts about blogging and work.

Dorothea Salo and Meredith Farkas (both of whom have provided excellent role models for me as I begin my job search) responded to Rochelle Mazar's excellent post about the tensions involved in having a blog that deals with professional issues while avoiding comments about the day-to-day frustrations in the work environment, issues that need to be handled in the trenches not in a public forum. I'm looking forward to similar posts from these three people and others as they begin to work out the questions, find the boundaries, and create the paradigm that will allow their blogs to grow and adapt to new circumstances.

My blog is doomed. The title and scope will only take me through graduation in December--or a bit longer if I don't have a job yet. Then what? I'm not sure. But I suspect that I'll have a better idea when I see how Dorothea, Meredith, and Rochelle manage it.     #
