I am studying blogs as a genre of "informal" scholarly communication. I'd love to hear from DH bloggers about their experiences.

I can be contacted via email mcburton (at) umich.edu or twitter @mcburton

13 Questions for DH Bloggers:

  1. When did you start your blog (career wise: as a grad student, undergrad, etc)?

  2. Why did you decide to start blogging?

  3. How do you host your blog, i.e. Do you use a generic web-host like Dreamhost with Wordpress, do you use a blogging service like Blogger.com?
