Talking about what you're up to, what you've seen. But in saying that, of course stuff that is absorbing your attention (like edna vs classroom 2.0) , comes into that too. I disagree with Blanca - I don't think that a blog is somewhere just to express your imagination. Some of my favourite blogs are extremely well written (I suspect they're actually 'column' writers), but they still link back to what is important to the blogger at the time. I meant to blog my pregnancy etc, but didn't feel the 'muse' much, so Keeley will miss out! ‘Personal touch’ – I think for me is: more stuff that links to what you’re doing.

My main blog is for my business. It's partially for my customers, and partially as a place to connect with new people. I also blog for a professional association. I blog there to help people find us, find out about our profession and to share resources with members. I blog for different reasons in different places. My main blog is for my business.

I decided to start a group at edna.edu.au but it turned out to be a listserve. I think I'll get rid of it and consider a group. The trouble is it's not as attractive as another site called Classroom 2.0 Ah, the worries of someone with too much time on their hands.

But generally, I like seeing what you're up to and what you're interested in. I like the personal touch, that links things to what is actually going on in your life. I dont' get around to commenting on your blogs much - but I do keep an eye on it! I have to admit I didn't read a lot of the Freedom of the Press stuff. Only so much misery I can take! Oh - and I enjoy the little 'twitter' stuff. I am a huge fan of one blog that is very specific. But generally, I like seeing what you’re up to and what you’re interested in.
