Academic Bloggers Needed

Said a note in the brand new issue 55 of HUMavisen – a newsletter from the faculty of Humanities at Aarhus University:

Are you writing your Masters Dissertation and do you want to share your experience with others on the web? Would you like to tell people about your daily work and add ‘weblog author’ to your CV? A few lines from your day-to-day work can help others, both dissertation writers-to-be and other colleagues catch a glimpse of the life of a graduate student.

Wow! I want to do that! Yes! Weblog author? You bet! And then it goes on:

We are looking for a couple of graduate students currently working on their dissertation and who will about once a month write half a page about what’s on their minds. Perhaps there’s computer trouble or you’ve been fined by the library. Or you could write about what makes a good dissertation workday for you?

Hey, wait a minute guys! Once a month? As in a blogging interval of roughly 30 days? That sounds suspiciously close to static website to me…

Just email your text, and we’ll collect the entries and put them online

Hey! That is static web content! Let’s party like it’s 1994! Oh and then we haven’t talked about the actual webdesign of the so-called blog.

This is my University? *headdesk*

If you want to contribute or need more information, send an email to: men@hum.au.dk

Well, no thanks, I’ve had just about enough information. I think I’ll just email this to my department secretary and make her upload it to the faculty webserver… er, no! Wait! I’ll just blog it!
