One of the things that bothers me about blogs is that anything I write is in the public arena. Frankly, I don't think that my personal thoughts are so fascinating. I've talked with my colleagues about whether they think a blog is useful for our library and while we can come up with an idea or three, I wonder how many people would really look at it. Another issue I have is that there simply aren't enough hours in the day - if there were 48 I might be able to fit everything in. So its nearly 6.30pm, I'm still at work and finally getting started (although I'm thinking about the professional reading I should be doing instead of this). How do others fit it all into their day?
For me, creating wikis to use with students would seem to be a more useful activity.
Hey Inge welcome back! It's great to see you posting, as I know you've had some trouble lately so I really appreciate the effort:) Blogging is certainly not for everyone and I kind of agree with you, I don't think I would get on and blog my personal thoughts either. But some people cover some excellent topics, they write about their fields of knowledge and those blogs are fantastic! I look forward to more of your posts :)
