Maybe your students are interested in our benchmark tool for blogs? Please drop me a line (you have my e-mail). If interested, I can give you special access to it.... its not about numbers but trust and conversation, of course :-) Hi from a fellow Canadian across the pond WebUrs http://commetrics.com/?page_id=3 Dear Gary

I've always wanted to start a blog, but I didn't have the tools. Actually, I have the tools however I was ignorant in knowing where to go to start my blog. But now I’ve started blogging - I love it and I can't stop! I agree with Kristen, once you acquire the basics about blogging - the best way to learn is to jump in!

As I’ve been told by seasoned practitioners, the learning curve for blogging is a steep one. Also anxious to prove myself credible in the blogosphere, I believe publicly posting your opinion on the World Wide Web only gets easier with time. I think many of our classmates, me included, are over-thinking this opportunity. My advice, now that you know the basics – jump in, head first!

There is already an overwhelming amount of information available on the Internet. I find myself asking what value I can add to our online conversations. To delay my own participation in the blogosphere, I am using an excuse I learned at the unconference, Talk is Cheap. Before starting a blog, respond to blogs. Before responding to blogs, read blogs. Step one is an ongoing process, but I do now feel more comfortable engaging the ideas of bloggers and the medium they wield. Step two - my first effort this comment here - is actually more challenging than I thought. Am I furthering this dialog with my musings or just filling far-flung servers with useless dribble? I suppose any response to this comment proves the former, but I'm not convinced. Step three will just have to wait. As Gary rightly observers, the idea of starting a blog can be quite daunting.
