Just like being there

I thought we looked at some really interesting ways that some blogs are using multimedia. Obviously, using images, videos, and sound are pretty common in blogs, but how these things get used in the service of the blog's purpose is where it's worth focusing our attention.

So, how have you been using multimedia? How do you present images, video, or sound? How might the multimedia be used in relation to the purpose or operating theme of your blog? What's the relationship of the multimedia to the text?

NEW POLICY

I just wanted to remind everyone of the new posting policy. You can still post absolutely anytime you want, but please have your posts done by Monday night. It was just getting too confusing trying to determine how to give credit (last week, or next week?) for posts that came in right around 3-5pm on Tuesdays. Especially when the timestamps aren't always set for Eastern time.

I hope this doesn't overly inconvenience anyone. Happy blogging, and we'll see you in two weeks! Check back here for a couple of questions we can be considering during our long hiatus.

Does the Cheese Stand Alone?

Who is reading your blog? How do you know? Have you recruited readers, asked friends, or engaged in cultivating an audience? Do you imagine that audience as you write? Do you have readers who you don’t know outside the blog? How did they find your blog? Do you comment on the blogs of strangers? How do common interests and reciprocity work in the blogosphere?
