		<title>Tags, schmags. Why we need higher-level course/blog metadata</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, this is another &#8220;why tags/categories aren&#8217;t as useful as they seem&#8221; post.  I get on this topic a lot, because they are so virtuous within the context of a single blog that it&#8217;s sometimes hard to see why they fail so much as a way to discover possibly related blogs or posts.
Here&#8217;s an [...]]]></description>

		<title>One! One Week Timeline! AH! AH! AH! AHHH!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Why excitement about counting all the way up to one?  Well, because it&#8217;s actually counting down.  I used to have a TWO! TWO Week timeline.  But the quantity of data got to be just a little too much, so I had to trade amount of data displayed for performance.
There are two reasons for that.  Overall, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Like Openness in Higher Ed? Read current Panlibus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago, I had a little play-time with data released from the University of Huddersfield Library by Dave Pattern, which led to a Talking With Talis podcast with Dave (see this post about it on this blog, and/or this one on my more technical blog.).

They also asked both Dave and me to write short [...]]]></description>

		<title>What might a linking-game look like?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An interesting conversation in the comments to Cole Camplese&#8217;s post about the importance of having access to data in a university system. Brett Bixler brought up the idea of bringing some game aspects to using the data, and Cole pushed toward the &#8216;how many clicks&#8217; game:
students are given a random starting topic and a random [...]]]></description>

		<title>Posts By Day Of Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After I posted this morning about the number of posts by hour on UMWBlogs, Jim reposted it, and from there D&#8217;Arcy Norman at UCalgary did similar digging in his WPMU tables.  Since he&#8217;s working directly from the database, he could even dig out stats for comments, something that I&#8217;m unable to do.
One thing that [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Tis now the very blogging time of night&#8230;&#8221;: When We&#8217;re Posting to UMWBlogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tis now the very blogging time of night
When posts do churn and the bava breathes out
 Edupunk to this world . . .
(Apologies to Shakespeare)
Over the weekend there was an odd glitch with the scrapers.  They&#8217;re still down until we figure out exactly what&#8217;s going on, so unfortunately I might miss some of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whose Link Is It, Anyway?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Continuing my fascination with links, I&#8217;ve got a new Exhibit in the spirit of the Link Friends Exhibit.  That one is an overall list of common links between posts.  So it gives you a list of URLs and the posts that link to them, ordered by the number of posts that link to [...]]]></description>

		<title>SemanticUMW Celebrates 15000 Posts With Style!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, the scrapers scraped in their 15000th post from UMWBlogs.  Way to go to everyone at UMW using it!
To celebrate, I&#8217;m also ready to finally add some better design and style to the exhibits.  Thanks to the hard work and many tears that I caused her, our student aide Serena Epstein has added [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keep Up With New Video in UMWBlogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last few posts were heavy on reflection, so I wanted to come back to building something.
Our New Media Specialist, Andy Rush, asked Jim this morning something about new videos in UMWBlogs.  That got me thinking that it&#8217;d be neat to have a feed of new posts that include videos.
So here ya go.  Simple RSS [...]]]></description>

		<title>Student Publishing and the Web Context</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I was bopping from site to site, and decided to check in on the Two Week Timeline to see what&#8217;s up.  I saw four interesting-looking titles, and went to give them a peek.  On one level, I was delighted, of course, at the expression and reflection at work in them.  [...]]]></description>
