Hi Everyone -
I thought it might be helpful to see a blog used in a museum setting. My museum is hosting a blog in conjunction with one of our current exhibitions, and the text from the blog will actually be used as the basis for a print catalog for the exhibition. So I think it's somewhat comparable to our project in that you can see the style of writing that's used here, and how that reflects the mindset of this being a future, scholarly publication. It is somewhat more formal than our blog, and I think the public is interacting with it less than we had expected so perhaps the "voice" here is a little less organic. But interesting to look at within the context of what we are doing nonetheless.

Jackie, thanks so much for this, really helpful to think about how our blog might be used in the future, and different styles, but especially interesting to see what kinds of communities and forums unexpectedly take shape through blog technologies.

Jackie, I thought this post was really interesting and a good example of us to look at regarding museum blogs....even if the public hasn't participated like you said you thought they would. It's always good to see what other museums are doing and how our project compares to them.
