Well, I found a whole slew of professional websites about teaching reading and writing. It was quite exciting. One weekly podcast site, called Grammar Girl, seemed particularly helpful. I thought my students might enjoy these podcasts while learning grammar skills!
One thing I noticed while flipping through tons of blog sites, is that bloggers feel this social pressure to post often. When we've neglected our readers, we ALWAYS apologize with a post entitled something like "the lament of the lazy blogger," or "been out for a while." If you're M.I.A for a bit, I assume you have a life outside your blog, no need to post a meaningless entry explaining, apologizing, or justifying your absence for the blog world. While I value a consistent writer, I also realize that there have been long stretches where I've had nothing to say, not that I have much to say now, I just write more often!
So have no fear, this blog writer understands if you are too busy living your life to take time to post about it. No hard feelings here.
