A return to blogging for IWMW2008

I've decided to have another go at blogging for the up-coming Institutional Web Management Workshop 2008 event in Aberdeen. This year's theme is 'The Great Debate' - the impact of Web 2.0 on UK Higher Education and their provision of web services and content. I'm looking forward to sessions on implementing content management systems and the use of social media in UK HE. I'm interested in finding out what other uni's are doing with technologies that enable easier and less formal communications between prospective students and staff, current students and staff and other stakeholders and members of university communities. Back to blogging constitutes a challenge for me - I'm not naturally given to write often, but having the IWMW event to focus on and being entrusted with some new services and strategies at University of Kent this year should keep me on the straight and narrow! Setting up the laptop for travel at the moment and bookmarking the web 2.0 sites I'll be using during the week - ning, twitter, facebook, flickr, del.icio.us and blogger plus the main IWMW 2008 site at UKOLN.
