Why blog?

Us dogs have been busy and haven't come back, but have tracked some of the other AID blogs - and some people are really getting into it. Someone asked why and I didn't post a comment at the time. There's lots of useful "stuff" out there in the library blogland it seems to me. A few examples? Check out Lorcan Dempsey's blog (http://orweblog.oclc.org/)
or David Lee King whose posts from July 5-12 are worth a read. He asks "Why Learn this Stuff"? (http://www.davidleeking.com/) and answers.

One of the problems, it seems to me, is that it is easy to spend a huge amount of time reading "useful stuff" and bouncing from blog to blog. When does it stop being learning and become indulgent, especially when we have a lot else to do?

not so tricky after all!

Getting to this place wasn't really all that difficult. Just making the time and committing to action was what was needed!
