Just set up a linganth blog

[Kathryn Remlinger]

Thanks, Leila. I like the blog site and think it could help increase participation and interest in linganth. I  would prefer to keep the linganth list along with the website. Although I would read and participate in the blogs, I wouldn't read regularly like I do the listserv.Like Galey, I like the listserv format for staying in the loop.

I would much prefer to keep this as a list that I automatically get in my inbox, rather than having to go to a website to check and see if there's anything posted. I like the listserv form because it keeps me in the loop of discussions going on, which would not be the case if it went to blog form. My guess is that there are a lot of other people out there like me, which would mean that there might not be as much participation if it went to blog form.

Just my 2 cents --
