Help! This blog is dying!

by Your Secret Correspondent wisteria

Guys, where is everybody? Do you remember the fun we had back in the old days (I believe it was just a tiny year ago)?

Whatever happened to Clear and Plaid? Did they switch over to the dark side and said good-bye to their practice of posting witty graphic secrets?

And where is my friend Kodachrome? Have you been sucked into the tenure-track vortex?

Maybe we could expand the scope of this blog to make it about more than secrets and troubles in academia. After all, there are some things in this life that actually make it worth living, or am I just speaking for myself?

Well, I hope to see many of you back on a.secret...long live the lovely species of the blogging academic!

I should add that I had a bit of trouble accessing the blog after all this time - must have something to do with a change at the google blogger. So don't give up, my fellow crayons! You all have mastered far greater challenges!

I'm in the same boat as christine. I've forgotten how I got here, but I liked what I read enough to add your blog to my feeder. I'm sad to hear your blog may be dying. I hope I didn't kill it!

I'm still here (clearly, since most of the recent posts are mine).

I'm all for a revival!

Remember back in college when you would hear about secret societies? We didn't get invited either. But we persevered and now, laptops in tow, we live as stealthy moles inside the grove of academe. We come together as members of a society so secret even we don't know who we are. academicsecret is a confederacy of bloggers connected to the academic world in various ways. By design, participant identities are unknown to one another and the administrators.

MORE SECRETS

In addition to featuring traditional blog content, A.SECRET also offers the option of expressing secrets in graphical form. This option is available to both members and non-members alike. Plaid is responsible for posting all picture secrets. If you would like to contribute an academic secret to this blog then please send a graphical representation (i.e., a picture) of your secret to asecretplaid -at- yahoo.com. We will post your secrets for you. See this entry for more information and check here for a collection of past secrets. Credit goes to PostSecret for this idea.
