It's a travelogue, of sorts | Casey Mahoney

This semester, I’m co-editing MiddBlog (midd-blog.com), “an alternative news and events blog for Middlebury College students,” that is, “alternative” meaning not the campus newspaper, The Campus.

The blog, founded in 2006, receives well over 2000 hits every week from Midd students, college faculty and staff, parents, and others. This semester, the editorial team consists of ten writers/photographers including myself, and has expanded its scope of work to collaborating with The Campus.
Even though writing from abroad adds a slight challenge in finding subject matter meaningful for students on campus, I figure I can meet the goal of writing a post or two every month, and that a voice from someone off campus can’t hurt to add to the chorus of my fellow bloggers. After my first three posts on MiddBlog already (a review of Midd’s resources for
outdoor trips, a first installment of “Highlights from abroad,” and a story on Midd’s migrating mail servers to Google, which stimulated some strong responses), I’m looking forward to the second half of the semester and finding even more to write.
