Weekly update

So this is mainly for my own information and those who are encouraging me to get this dissertation finished.

Week 1: On Monday, I filled out a form for the IRB board at Eastern, but was unable to locate a similar form for South Carolina, so I wasn’t able to finish the first step. I have to get IRB approval from both Eastern and South Carolina before I can begin sending out surveys to the bloggers whose sites I examined in the first part of the research.

I began reexamining the earlier results I had obtained.

Other than that, not much this week, as classes got rolling and then there was the inauguration.

NEXT WEEK: Writing results from the first part of the survey in earnest. Fortunately, I have done a couple of presentations on the findings, so I have some writing already complete. I’ll probably have to edit those as I begin.
