Hi all,
as I said earlier, I think the best way is to do a screen dump of some representative entries, or specific ones if you are evidencing a particular activity.
cheers,
Pete

Hi David
I would have thought the answer would be to print off particular entries which demonstrate evidence to support your evaluative statement (eg: reflections on a course), also maybe to print off the front page as evidence of using this method of being evlaluative/reflective etc.
As you say, I can't think that printing the whole blog would be desirable - it needs a more selective approach.
Best wishes
Liz

Hi Sarah and colleagues
That's a good point. At the briefing that I went to a couple of weeks ago, we were told that of the three copies required, two needed to be hard-copy. The logic here is, as you say, that the assessors cannot be expected to print off their own copies - seems pretty reasonable to me. So that's a hard-copy for each assessor and a third one for Cilip to file (and their happy to file an electronic version). To be honest, I'm not too sure how I'm going to manage to put together an application in electronic format (without spending a lot of time scanning and assembling a hefty PDF document) anyway, but in the interest of not closing any doors..
As far as making a blog 'printer-friendly', most blog software will let you determine the number of entries to be displayed on the front page. I have chosen to display all entries on one page so whether you view every entry (default) or just a subset (using the tags), printing the page gives you the lot.
Having said that, I'm not sure that I will be printing off a copy of my blog for the assessors (or whatever the term is) to read. I'm not sure how the blog (other than its existence - represented by a link or front-page print-out) would fit into the application. For me, it's more a way of capturing thoughts and activities for use in assembling my portfolio and writing my evaluative statement later.
Is this how others are using it or have you got a more creative plan?
Kind regards,
David

The last time I went to a CILIP Chartership briefing (my chartership has dragged on a bit and I've been to two), CILIP were stipulating that all submissions had to be paper-based only, as it wasn't reasonable to expect the moderators (probably got the terminology wrong there) to have to print material out. So we need to be aware that blog-based chartering (which I think is an excellent idea) has to be in a format that facilitates printing prior to submission.

Hello colleagues,
Remember this thread about chartership blogs? Well, I have finally had a bit of feedback from my manager on the publication of my blog and on the whole, it was positive. He did suggest that I might want to edit one of the entries, though. My compromise has been to save the entry in question as a draft so that it isn't public but I don't lose the entry and I don't have to change it.
Having sorted that out, here is the link to my chartership blog: http://djlbchartership.blogspot.com/ - I welcome your comments!
I guess the next entry will have to be something about company policies on employee blogs...
Kind regards,
David

Dear David (and list),
I have also started my own blog to record progress (or lack of, as the
case may be) with my chartership. I used to have one with private pages
and public pages, but this fell into disuse after a while, due to lack
of motivation! Inspired by Katherine I have started a new one, which is
all public so far, but I do have the option to make some posts private
if required (I think!).
The issue of whether employers would be happy about what is written is
an issue that is relevant to any blogger who writes about his/her
workplace, and it is something I have thought about (hence the use of
private posts).
Please let me (and the list) know what the outcome of the meeting with
your line manager is, and if you do go public let us know!
If you want to visit my blog the URL is
http://charteringbookmouse.wordpress.com
All the best,
Claire

Hi Katharine and colleagues,
I've had a quick look at your blog and look forward to reading more but
will save my comments on Google's bid for world domination for your
blog.
I agree that blogs lend themselves beautifully to this sort of process.
I've chosen to do the same but, so far, I haven't made mine public. I
have been toying with the idea of doing so (and so making it truly a
blog as opposed to a private, electronic journal).
My concern has been (and to some extent, remains) that as I record my
progress, I am gathering examples for my portfolio based on my current
work and that what I write may or may not be something that my employer
would be pleased (or at least content) to see made public.
I have discussed it with my mentor (to whom I have made it available
through an invitation) and we basically go back and forth between the
pros and cons. I intend to have a discussion with my line manager about
it this week and will use a couple of the entries that I consider to be
a little sensitive as a litmus test.
I'll let you all know how this pans out and would welcome readers
(should I go public with it all, that is).
Kind regards,
David
If you aren't happy with the software that you are using for your blog
or are thinking you might like to start one up, I have found that
Blogger (which allows you to tag your entries) to be pretty user
friendly (though it forms part of the Google family so if you don't like
that...) - but that's a different thread!

Hello All,
I am aware of a few people blogging as a way to record their
Chartership progress and keep records for use as evidence of reflective
practice etc. I have started a blog to do this with mine.
I wondered how many other people have them, how useful they find
it and whether they are getting any interaction as a result?
Does anyone have any ideas of how to make blogs work in other
ways useful to Chartership/professional development?
I'd be interested to read what other people are doing and
wondered if perhaps there is room for us to help each other out with
specifics via blogging?
My blog is at http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/kwiddows
< http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/kwiddows <http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/kwiddows> > (you may have to copy and paste
the link into your browser).
Would anyone else like to make their blog known?
Many thanks
Katharine
