Testing, testing

Weclome to the unit blog. I never quite know what to write first when I start a blog. And in general, I think first posts on blogs are always a bit random. Someone once said they're like the moment before a gig when someone steps up to the microphones, taps it and drones 'Testing, testing, one, two, one, two.'

Anyway, as the blurb in the sidebar says, the idea here is to link to stories that relate to some of the ideas and theories you'll look at during the course of the unit. Think of it as an online version of the research logs you're doing.

We also want to link to some useful resources online and put up some advice about researching your essays and dissertations. It's also a space where you can ask questions relating to the unit or comment on the stories we link to or add stories of your own.

That's the plan, anyway. We'll see how it develops.
