"Before I blogged I got bogged down with lots of ideas and did not think I was getting anywhere. I found it helped me with my thinking as it was like I was saying it out load and I could see my thoughts develop. I guess if I am blogging I can see how things have progressed and I can reflect on how to make things better."

"I have had a PhD blog for over a year and I have also added a blog to the LexDis Blog
I have used Blogger.com as it is free and so easy to set up and you can add photos."

"I tend to forget how I am coping with long difficult tasks and sometimes do not even think very clearly about things. Having a blog has made me reflect on what exactly I have found difficult and is a bit like thinking aloud"
