Someone will ask, so let me confront it right now. There is no good reason to blog. Sure you can argue it another way to reach people, or that expressing ideas is always a good, but who is really reading? This question become even more important when you consider the opinion of a bunch of historians are likely not to draw a lot of hits. Nonetheless, if you don't meet the kids were they are, you can't reach them:) This blog has been renamed for the history department's use, but I will keep the posting relating to my student's digital history project available. I like the symbolism of a project in the classroom leading to a discussion in department meeting, and then to this!!! It could be you will see some amazing opinions and biting commentary in this space. Or you might see it sit here and do nothing. It is an experiment worthy of a liberal art institution!
