Tabula Rasa

With the essay quote in mind, I’ve decided to set myself some boundaries in the pursuit of this new research form. It’s ironic that I set ‘boundaries’ in a medium that is in a constant state of ‘becoming’. Maybe ‘guidelines’ is a better description.

1. Apart from the original article found in my Network Media Course Reader, no resorting to books. That’s so I keep to my promise on thinking, reading and writing ‘online’ – a different headspace.
2. Keeping things brief, yet constant – the core of blogging: allowing for short bursts of attention.
3. Datestamped – to show how the site builds up and grows.
4. Focus – with a wealth of resources at my fingertips, that’ll be a challenge.
5. Snapshots of the blog as it develops.
6. Deadline – blogging is all about immediacy.  In this instance, the ‘sallyB blog exercise’ has a one week time frame to connect ideas and establish links.
