Check out these Harvard bloggers

The Harvard Law School is running a WordPress MU (Multi User) installation that’s available to anyone with a .harvard.edu email address. Check out the list of hosted weblogs. Is the average Harvard blog smarter and more intellectual than the average blog overall? I honestly can’t figure it out. I’ve clicked through a dozen of these links, and only one of them is a blog that actually has some real expository content. Most of them are just test pages or test posts, while one is composed solely of pictures. All seem abandoned. Harvard Law is even hosting some SEO splogs. They really need to organize the list into two sections, with the top list consisting solely of blogs that have been updated within the past thirty days. This is easy to do; it could be done in software. I really would be interested in seeing what Harvard people are blogging about, if only I actually could see it.

    Working on it. Blog server unfortunately hasn’t been given the respect it deserves. A new software update sometime in April will clean things up a bit, get rid of the splogs, give users their choice of a bunch of plugins, add widgets support, etc., etc. Hopefully we can get some more Harvardites blogging after some historic blog server problems have been cleared up and the platform is nice and stable.
