Welcome Back Boys!

Well I am thrilled to see such a beehive of activity in the Blogging Room. Some great stuff. Some great responses. Keep the issues broad, complex and engaging so that some useful ideas come about and we can explore our professional reasoning in more depth and get some real value out of this exercise.

For your information.. If you go to www.bloglines.com you can subsribe to the brainstrust BLOG. By subscribing you get automatic notification of any new BLOG entries into the braintrust and any other BLOGS you may want to monitor. When you go to your BLOGlines/myblogs page, you get notification of the new blogs and they pop up in a window for you to read. You don't even have to go to the Braintrust to look at them unless of course you want to make a comment. It is free to sign up and all you need is an email and password.

Once you have an account all you do is go to the 'my feeds' tab on the upper left hand margin and select 'add'. Then you put in the URL of the blog and presto... you get notification when you check your BLOGLINES account.

Let me know if you set it up and find it working......

Also.....any feedback on the blogging experience welcome.

Hello Everyone. Thanks to those of you who have put your first posting up. We are well into this placement and there is very little activity in the Blog? Postings are not being responded to and there still are some original postings needed. Please do not leave this to the last week of the placement. This is designed to engage you in thinking further about your practice, to support you peers and use the collective wisdom of your peers to get some answers to tricky questions. Much better than a final clinical written exam?.... I have entered some comments on how we can increase the value of this experience.

I also asked for some feedback from you all on your thoughts about the Blog. Received one comment. Others appreciated.

Lets hear from you....

Thanks. Rick.
