While I had visions of visitors hitting this blog and providing some comments and feedback (which hasn't happened), I am finding that this exercise has provided me with an excellent journal of research steps, "best-known practices," and "lessons learned" concerning Wikis.
In retrospect, I probably should have done a Wiki instead of a Blog. Oh well.
Note to self: an excellent Wiki primer, comparison chart, and suggested usage for Wikis exists at: http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue42/tonkin/
The linked article is written by Emma Tonkin, Interoperability Focus Officer, UKOLN (UK Office for Library Networking). It is well written, references nicely cited, and informative.
Blogs, like any other form of communication, seem to work best when you interact with others. I am operating my second blog, now, and it hasn't been as successful as my first, in terms of traffic, because I don't interact as much as I once did with other blogs online. In the past, I would notice a direct relationship between my having visited and commented on blogs and the traffic coming to my site.
