Here’s a blog post I wrote in November 2008, in response to Downes’ article:

Past the First Post
This is my first time blogging for a course. I’m curious to see how this all turns out, especially since I’m encouraging my own online students to use blogs for reflection on how they listen to music.
In following other blogs, I’ve learned that good blogging is done purposefully, and not to fill space. Except for the posting of course assignments, I’ll try to blog in response to the readings we do (writing to read better) and to reflect on the learning process.
Another principle of good blogging is brevity – shorter blogs get read more often (Downes, 2009). [I’ll try to find a link to this point tomorrow. Okay – couldn’t find this reference…]
On that note,
Thanks for reading and please come back soon.
