hypertext/hypermedia/literary weblogs

A colleague here at UBC asked me to assemble a short list of “interesting, inventive and creative weblogs”, particularly ones that “focus on hypertext/hypermedia/literary issues.”

I only had a bit of time, during which I compiled the selection below. I know I’m making some terrible omissions… if you care to round out the list, please add a comment, or annotate the unformatted wiki page I’ve been tossing the links into.

[BTW, I hired a student to do a CSS for my wikis, which he did… but he also recommended I install a more comprehensive suite such as SnipSnap — an excellent idea, but it’s also work, and these are frantic days, indeed.]
