Hedieh and I were chatting in the lab about how we find that we don’t seem to blog as much as we used to since our blogs migrated from Movable Type and Wendy’s aggregator into the new GRAIL environment.
Granted, I’ve been preoccupied lately with my thesis research, EILP project work, TEPA work, and settling into my new place in Toronto. Still, I used to find time to blog before, and it is not that I have no shortage of things to blog about! Somehow, it seemed easier to compose entries in Movable Type, and I used to read other student’s entries on the aggregator more regularly. Even though the university’s universal login (UtorID) means that I have a single login and password to access my many online spaces (e.g. library, Refworks, Refshare, Blackboard, GRAIL) on my bookmark toolbar, I find it to be a barrier to my weblog reading and writing practices. Is it because the “Blogs” tab within GRAIL isn’t as “public” on the web as it once was?
