“Hi Luis!

Hope you had a great X’mas!

Thanks for taking part in my survey. I’ve closed my survey and am collecting answers for the qualitative part of my study. Would appreciate it if you could answer these questions and if possible, provide links to entries in your blog for each answer.
Have a great year ahead! :

1.Have you ever had to defend your opinions when others disagreed with what you said on your blog? Any cases when you ‘respectfully disagreed’ with another blogger? (Preferably work-related issues.)

2.How has blogging helped you professionally? And do you learn any useful work-related lessons/
solutions from stories/anecdotes (i.e. through using the narrative-friendly aspect of blogs to share knowledge) as on the blogs of your colleagues’/other professionals’ outside your own company?

3. Do you get good work-related advice from other professionals in your field/other bloggers? Anyone ever told you that they found useful work-related advice on your blog?

3a) Your external blog has high visibility and good reputation to share thoughts on KM/KS. Could you tell me how it started and some examples of how others found it useful?

4.Which of the following do you use most often? How do they help (if at all) in finding information (just one e.g will do, tks!)
- Comment boxes
- Permalinks
- Trackback
- RSS

Any other blogging applications you use to manage content on your blog?”

Since there are far too many questions in order to answer them in a single comment appended over here I will just go ahead and create a new weblog post and share the comments over there plus some further input. Thanks very much, Michelle, for dropping by and for the valuable feedback input. Let me know if you would need further comments !
