Interested in blogging on the LERSnet site?

To blog on the LERSnet site you need to have something to say and some commitment to keep up postings. You do not need any great technical enthusiasm or aptitude; anyone who can send an email can post to a blog.

We can arrange for researchers who want to post (more or less) regular or frequent observations on a particular theme to do so in the form of a blog. All such blogs will be listed on this ‘LERSnet blogs’ page, where clicking on the name of the blog will access all the posts in it. We can also arrange for a blog (or particular posts within a blog) to be linked from other pages.

Example:
Anne Other is heavily involved with adjudicating on research grant applications, and makes frequent applications herself.

• She can have ‘Anne Other’s grants blog’ listed here. Clicking on the blog names will give access to all her posts.
• We can also put a link in from the ‘Research funding’ page. This can simply lead to the whole blog, or she may want to limit this link to a selection of key posts giving important advice.
• Whenever she makes a new post, she ticks a box to put in ‘Anne Other’s grants blog’ and decides whether also to tick a box to make it accessible from the ‘Research funding’ page.
