Discussing the application of new technologies in New Zealand libraries
Almost ready to think about getting ready to professionally blog, but not quite
Do you pick up the tentativeness there?
I've been blogging for ages (no I won't link there, hack me if you're up to it) but having had a number of people thank me for comments I've made to various discussion list (much to my surprise to be honest, I'd pictured myself as a nuisance and a gadfly more than anything else) I've decided that I might just have an audience and a voice in this fine profession.
Well I'm sure I might be right and then I might be wrong about that, but I thought I might share the home and first post just with this smaller, hopefully gentler family here before pinning my shingle to the wall and launching myself to the rest of my colleagues.
It's only a little more than a placeholder, but there's a nice song if you hop on over.
Oh and I'm doing it on tumblr.com if you haven't seen it. It's quick, versatile and noninvasive, my fave 3 things about web 2 apps. They promise 10 seconds between clicking the signup button and post, and they're right.
Clicky!
Apparently they currently don't support comments. Please let me know how you liked the song here.

I understand your tentativeness. I've tried three times to blog 'professionally' - ie about my work or library-related matters, and I just can't seem to keep motivated or I run out of ideas and/or time. I have, on the other hand, blogged privately for years, but anonymously. I didn't hear your song or it took forever to download - could well be this computer which is lacking...

Oh!
I've just had a brilliant idea... I wonder how many people here would be interested in collaborating on a shared web-2-for-NZ-Libraries blog?

That does sound like a good idea. A shared blog takes the pressure off an individual wanting to blog but not always having the time to update.
