Now we’ve settled into the start of our teaching term we wanted to announce a few changes to our blog. There's been some interesting reflections on what blogs do here and here, and more recently here, and our thinking has certainly evolved from back in April when we began. Clearly, there's a sense that blog postings do other things than articles, they're less restrictive, become spaces that we regularly visit to catch up on the latest news in the field, and encourage us to write in different ways - possibly without endless throat clearing, or lazy referencing.
