That’s great news. Good luck with the blog! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts as you start your own studies in the field. I’m working on another Digest as we speak by the way.

Hi Sinéad - Just wanna say you gave me the inspiration through this post to start my own blog. I’ll be starting my M.Sc. in Cyberpsychology in October and I was thinking that if I’m really serious about this field that I should spread the word about the area of study.

That’s a really interesting list of articles.

I’m particularly interested in the Role of the Reader in relation to blogging. Right, I’m off to give that report a proper read.

Oh and cheers Sinéad for adding me to your blogroll :)

That’s unfortunate, especially when many bloggers will agree that readers comments are an important motivation to continue blogging. Even a small comment saying “Great article” etc., can be fantastic encouragement. So next time you feel pressured, don’t forget that even a small two word comment can mean a lot to the author.

Thanks for the comment! :)

I noted that “Readers put pressure on themselves to produce worthwhile comments”. I’ve suffered from what I’d call ‘comment block’ when I’ve typed a comment and thought that’s shit and deleted it. I find it easier to write rubbish on my own blog than wreck someone else’s.

@Darragh - Thanks, I’d be interested to hear your views on these stories.

@Tim - Try not to kill yourself with all those gigs. You should take a look at the huge number of evening and weekend Masters courses that are available (even the Open University). Admittedly, many of them are quite expensive, but it’s a rewarding experience to continue educating yourself.

@Aisling - I know exactly what you mean. Without my phone I feel completely disconnected from everyone, even feeling anxiety that someone might need me or that people might start worrying about me (namely my partner who I text obsessively throughout the day). That said, I probably wouldn’t get very far without any money!

@Darren - Hehe. Yeah, the role of the reader is something I’m really hoping to look into in my own research.

@Mary - Feel free to drop me an e-mail with anything you think would fit the bill. I still like my idea of starting a class group blog though!
