I'm thinking about creating my own URL within the wonderful and terrible world of the Internet.
I'm also seriously considering to create and initiate my own blog very soon after I familiarize myself with the baiscs of blogging. I can start doing that, by visiting other people's blogs and posting messages there -- such as with Oerdin's Iraq blog.
The purpose of my blog would be to gain knowledge and advice from those who are more experienced in teaching history since I'm just starting out as an adjunct.
I also want to use the blog to discuss the arguments and ideas behind my thesis paper as I continue working on it, with other professional historians.
And of course, the more casual and laid-back purpose of my blog would be to have intellectual discussion on whatever other history topics other historians (students and instructors) find interesting. And also to discuss the professional and methodical issues of teaching history.
If any of you have any advice of creating a URL and/or creating and maintaining a blog, I'm all ears. I just got done reading an article in an American Historical Association news magazine called Perspectives on the growing number of historians who are utilizing blogs and it sparked my interest. The article's author listed several sites to visit -- I will check them out tonight before I go to bed probably.
