Archiving blog content

This article by Richard Entlich of Cornell University is a few years old now, but still worth reading. The author notes that the enthusiasm with which a new blogger embarks on the adventure usually wanes as the chore of making regular updates begins to burden one's psyche with a staggering load of dread. This seems to have been my starting point. I was kind of hoping that the more I blogged, the easier it would get. Doesn't seem to be working that way so far.

Anyway, the subject of the article will fascinate bloggers who are interested in ERM and records managers who are interested in blogs. The very concept of blogs, these most ephemeral of electronic records, in the context of archiving and long-term preservation blows my mind!
