Building on each other's posts

Wow! I'm fascinated at the range of topics people have posted on this week, as well as how certain themes seem to have come up again and again.

One way that you are connecting posts is through your use of labels. For example, I see someone created a "Critical Theory Today" label that others began to also use. So, if I wanted to pull together posts that addressed the Tyson reading, I could just click on that label in the cloud.

Another way to make the blog into a more "conversational" space would be to use the comment function to respond to a post with a similar topic. The advantages to this would be that people would be more likely to treat posts like invitations to take up a conversation.

Finally, you can always insert a stable link to a person's blog in your own text. (This is a way that bloggers often "cite" each other.) To generate the stable link, just click on the title of the post. This will open the post in a new window and the stable url will be in the address bar.
