Blog ... Non Weblog ... Blog

I started this Blog inwards 2009 because I wanted a house to seat the answers to some "frequently asked questions."  At the fourth dimension I was receiving a steady flow of calls from people thinking of applying for a PhD at Glasgow as well as heard myself repeating like things during these calls.  I idea it mightiness endure helpful to accept somewhere to betoken people at as well as so that they could run through the cloth themselves.  I asked a colleague who said "what you lot desire is a blog" ... but afterward I'd seat some cloth upward on the site I began to realise that it wasn't a weblog as well as so much equally a web-site that I was constructing.  The early on posts on the site aren't weekly updates inwards the feel of a typically blog, rather they are my elbow grease to summarise the primary challenges. choices as well as issues that PhD students as well as applicants face.  So afterward a few months the site became a "not blog" ... to my smashing surprise, the site has generated a fair chip of traffic despite its "not blog" status.  With some a thou hits a calendar month as well as a salubrious grouping of followers I'm thus going to plough my "not blog" into a weblog inwards the coming months.  Far as well as away the most ordinarily visited postings are the ones on epistemology as well as on gaps inwards the literature ... these volition nonetheless endure at that spot for those that desire them.  What you'll abide by inwards the coming months is something closer to a "thought for the day" format which is to a greater extent than typical of a blog.  Be certain to allow me know what you lot think.  Meantime, I'm delighted to enjoin that my "not blog" came 3rd inwards a ranking of the altitude fifty online PhD sites ...

Not bad for a "not blogger" ... imagine what volition orbit off when it turns into a blog.  If you're working on a PhD   ... hang inwards there. If you're thinking well-nigh starting ... halt thinking as well as get-go starting!

Oh, as well as happy summer
