This document discusses developing Irish online publishing through blogging. It notes that blogging allows for conversational scholarship, collaboration, sharing, reflection and creation. Blogging provides freedom with no author guidelines, word counts, conventions or restrictions. However, freedom is not free and writing for the web is different than writing for yourself. Blogging provides a space to develop, make mistakes, and find clarity. Personality can make a good blog great, so one should try blogging to see if it fits.

- Freedom can also be paralysing for those who are more comfortable working with structure and direction
- Keep it accessible in terms of language, length, tone and contentSource: HaraldWeinreich, HartmutObendorf, Eelco Herder, and Matthias Mayer: “Not Quite the Average: An Empirical Study of Web Use,” in the ACM Transactions on the Web, vol. 2, no. 1 (February 2008), article #5.
- Although blogging can be about sharing your writing with others, it is often primarily a personal space for thinking out loud, clarifying ideas and thoughts, and reflecting on practice or ideasEven if you are writing for an audience, it is typically a much wider and diverse audience than a niche academic community, so style, tone, language and length should reflect this
- Blogging is a safe place or sandbox to practice; you are not subject to peer review so you don’t need to produce a perfect, finished article and it is easier to give yourself permission to ‘write badly’
- I like to use blogging as a ‘prewriting’ strategy sometimeshttp://test.org.uk/2014/01/05/dont-get-bigger-get-weirder-things-ive-learnt-from-5-years-of-the-story/ (2014)
