Academic Blogging via Lore: An E-Journal for Teachers of Writing
There looks to be a feast of 13 articles, none of which I've read. (Do you hear that tone of self-frustration? Yup.) Academic Blogging: In the past few years, blogging has become something of a national pastime, and academics are becoming a core group using blogs for personal and professional reasons. Yet even though many people embrace blogging, many others have no idea what it is or why anyone would do it. In this issue of Lore, we explore the role that blogging plays for academics both in and out of the classroom.

I spent quiet a lot of time reading these articles. What I most liked was the evidence that blogging is connecting some academics to the community beyond the campus.
Some years ago I gave up on universities as a source of meaningful educational leadership, but giving up didn't really help since in many ways the universities remain the only game in town.
But I sense things shifting, like the thaw on a frozen river in spring.
