Hello again. Well I was disappointed - or perhaps I was pleased - to learn that I'm not the only sceptical blogger out there. A quick google search reveals quite a number of us! I'm told that the only way to discover the real utility of blogs is to write one - but already I'm coming across a number of difficulties. The first is what to write about? It's difficult to write something with a vague unknown audience in mind - yes I know nobody reads most of this rubbish but still they might - and that matters! I gather from some of the research I've read that students write better because they appreciate that others may read their ramblings - but I don't think it's having this effect on me. I also keep thinking that I really have a lot more important things to do ....
