Hi Anne, just found your blog via the AOIR Facebook group. Your thesis sounds very interesting – maybe two papers of mine are of interest to you:
- a working paper describing findings on blog software use based on a large scale study – see: http://www.bamberg-gewinnt.de/wordpress/archives/615

A paper applying this model to blogging practices should appear in the july issue of JCMC; if you’re interested in a preprint just send me an e-mail

I just printed the full papers and I will read them soon. I would be very interested in your upcoming paper for the JCMC. I will e-mail you about it. Thank you very much!
