Probably 99.9% of my small readership are already advocates of blogging, but Steven D. Krause has an idea that might make academic blogging count with other more traditional audiences:

what if there was a way to put together a journal– maybe print, maybe electronic– that was kind of a selection of different blogger’s entries, perhaps arranged around a topic? This publication could reproduce those blog entries and even encourage the original writers an opportunity to go into more detail in the form of an “article” or “chapter” of some kind.
Too crazy?

I think this idea rocks! What do the rest of you think?
