Hi all ironically, I did Not want to dampen any [if I may] Enthusiasm for blogging either! Only joining the colour of Critcal GF to engage a bit of friendly crit into this. So I will have a look at the anthrop debate on this, much thanks. it just seems sometimes to be a new Grail wrought from feeling unable to engag our work outwards- a worthy pursuit! Best- and relax the weekend!

No, but there's an issue here's I've been wondering/worrying about: Traditional publication outlets don't accept previously published work. One might imagine--and I have heard some people* in fact argue this--that work posted on blogs is in fact published.
