Continuity, development, connection - these are just some of the benefits of blogging listed by Martin Weller in this brief but persuasive article. Like Weller, I have blogged for as long as blogging has existed - since before that, actually. I've experienced the same benefits. And as Weller says, "That's not a bad return for a lil' ol' blog. I couldn't say the same for academic journals." This post is a reflection on Weller's participation in Reclaim's On Writing series.
