ABSTRACT

By examining two academic blogs over a period of 3 months, this study aims to understand blog writing by defining writing as constructing dynamic trajectories and a function of its environment. An analysis for identifying the constructed trajectories, which provide information on the location and nature of the connections, as well as the content; yield both information on the parts (the blog) that construct the network, and the network as a whole (the blog+its environment).
