History Blogging Project: new website

The History Blogging Project is a new web site supported by the History Lab, the University of Oxford and Roehampton University and aims to create a set of training resources that will enable postgraduate students to create, maintain and publicise a blog on their research. 

Topics covered include: why blogs?, blogs to engage the public and how to write suitable content, plus discussion forums and guidelines around these issues. Also suitable for other academics interested in setting up their own blogs and discussion forums.

The site aims to be fully developed by mid-2011
