MIT Weblog Survey
This is a general social survey of the greater weblog community being conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our goal is to help understand the way that weblogs are affecting the way we communicate with each other. Specifically we are interested in issues of demographics, communication behaviors, experience with weblogs and other technology, and the meaning of various types of social links within the blogosphere.
The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, and we are asking anyone with a weblog to participate. The larger the sample of individuals we can get, the better our picture of the community will be.

Update: Here are a few more WordPress GreaseMonkey scripts that the author is offering.
wordpressuncheck.user.js is a GreaseMonkey user script that waits until the admin “Write Post” page loads, then goes through and unchecks whatever WordPress chose as the default category. It only deselects when a new post is created, otherwise it would overwrite the categories you already selected for drafts. Its only requirement is that you keep the default “wp-admin” folder.

Hello everyone, I just thought I’d give myself a little introduction. I’m sure many of you are wondering what direction I’m going to take this site and if I’m going to change it completely. First of all let me say that I am going to continue reporting on the latest wordpress news so you don’t have to worry about that. My other posts will be targeted to blogging professionally and on general blogosphere news. Hopefully the post count here will only continue to grow.
I will probably be reposting some of the content from my old blog at first to give everyone an idea of the direction that I’m taking this site.
Now a little information about myself. I’m 23 years old and go to Middle Tennessee State University and I graduate in December. I am trying to make it in the world as a professional blogger/webmaster. I will also be posting on reaching my goals such as being able to work for myself. I like to disclose as much information as possible while blogging, so people can see how to succeed being a blogger/webmaster. I think to like I have a little knowledge about a few things
Anyway, hopefully I can please most of you and keep John from regretting that he had to sell. I’ll make you proud John! Wish me luck!
