Rhetoric & Writing colleagues: I made a website that tracks new books in the field: https://t.co/6Cp3PjC7rv
I've too often missed the announcement for a great new book, only to find it months (or years!) later. Rhetorlist tries to solve that problem. I hope it's useful. (1/4)
In my 1999 dissertation, titled Writing Networks, I argued that writing technologies teach students things that conflict with writing teachers' pedagogy. Technologies have pedagogy too. This is why it's important for folks in our field to *make* them not just use them.
@derekvan@anetv If you want a CMS that you can log into and edit, I think WordPress is still the best and easiest free solution (especially if your hosting company has a one-click install and auto-updating).
@derekvan@anetv I will use Pico for the next site I make. I like Jekyll and other static site generators, but unless you’re using GitHub pages, Jekyll has dependencies to manage. Pico is just PHP & Markdown & is easier to maintain—as long as you’re ok with writing everything in Markdown.
So excited to share that Writing Workflows the book is now officially published: https://t.co/LdNM7T24KA
@timlockridge and I are excited to hear what people think.
Thanks especially to the generosity of our research participants @viticci@ttscoff@MacSparky
@MikeRTrice @JasonCKTham @onlyalishak @LitaStarr @cbdilger@chellemcmullin The next phase of the project is to add previous years, so I hope the site will soon be more useful for graduate seminars & surveys of the field!
@caseyliss Yes? But I think John was also right: dial-up lived and died without ever losing its hyphen. The Apple Style Guide says that dial-up is only an adjective, and it shouldn't be used as a verb. But I think it's a noun here, so we're just breaking all the rules.
@lecagle @zoltanmajdik Thank you! Our next step: Building spaces to share and circulate this kind of knowledge. This is an important part of our work & too often invisible or inherited.
@latetreault Many library databases offer RSS feeds for journals & if you use a citation manager like Zotero, you can add those RSS feeds & track new articles within the app: https://t.co/y1v5uFHTtV
It's not a perfect solution, and not all journals have RSS feeds, but I've found it helpful.
@BridgetGelms I've been teaching the Miami editing course for a few years & have thoughts on this if you want to chat sometime. Re: readings, be sure to check out Emmy Favilla's *A World Without Whom*. (Also, yes, I'm reading Twitter at a ~3 week delay. Am I old yet?)
