  9. My Practice • Blog regularly, at least once a fortnight. • The blog is a site for discussion so I: • Invite questions (and ask for permission to blog the answer); • Respond to comments; • Edit the obvious errors; • Maintain nettiquette; but allow robust discussion.

  10. My Practice • Link to sources. • Ask “do the names need to be there?” • Adhere to academic and legal honesty.

  11. Reflections • The readership is larger than I ever imagined; • The feedback is (so far) all positive; • Of all the writing I do, I think this has the widest reach and highest impact (but no DEST points); • It's become my notebook.
