Hello class

This post is for my American Studies class. I was getting frustrated trying to put links into blackboard, so I thought I’d just put this here. It also lets the general public participate, if you want.

Check out some of the blogs listed here. Start here, clicking on some the blogs in my blogroll on the bottom right of the main page, and move through the others. There is no specific way to do this. You may jump around from blog to blog, read thoroughly within one or more, or both. The idea is to get a broad sense of how blogs work, the range of material they cover, etc. Make sure to look at all of those listed below, though, so we will have a shared set of readings to discuss.

William Gibson’s Blog

Cory Doctorow’s blog

An interview with a blogger

How to blog (from Antonella Pavese)

Boingboing

Then go to technorati and search for a topic of your choice. If you find anything interesting, post it in the comments here.

For the general public: what other general blogs should people who are relatively unfamiliar with blogs read?
