Thing #14: Be A Reader of Blogs

The blog I chose to read was a Dissertation Research Blog from Kansas University's Library, since I plan on going back to school in the spring.  The very first thing I noticed was my inability to read the goal of the blog, which was in small white letters pasted over a picture.  Otherwise, the appearance of the blog was nice and easy to read.  The blog posted learning opportunities on the campus and had research from other government institutions.  There were sections with dissertation handouts, Web 2.0 Tools,  and other resources.  Something I really liked about the formatting was a FEEDJIT that tracked recent visitors of the blog on a world map.  If I were a huge blogger, I would have one on my mine.
