It's good to be back! In answer to the blog prompts... As you can see, I haven't blogged on this particular site since we left off with Thing 23. However, I have blogged elsewhere. I belong to a writing group, and we organized a group blog recently, where we take turns posting essays -- little "slice-of-life" pieces. Also, at our college, we were each given individual blog accounts via WordPress at the beginning of the academic year. My librarian colleague and I are posting together with a Library blog. We're using it to post New Books, research tips, recommended Web sites, and announcements. There's a widget for the blog on our Library home page.
I enjoy the ease of blogging; I like that it's a way to get your words out to the public in an attractive format, yet it's informal enough that you don't feel constrained by having to write perfectly (plus, you can always edit.) It's so much nicer to get library news and tidbits out via a blog than to bombard everyone's email boxes with a general mailing or use up resources by publishing paper newsletters.
I have been reading lots of blogs over the past year: news blogs, like Huffington Post during the election season, blogs put up by friends who are writers, and also some of the popular library blogs, which I've added to my blog-roll, like Information Wants to Be Free.
I occasionally comment on others' blogs, as time permits.
