I'd be interested - what's the sort of content expected?
See the stuff on the old blogs: http://forum.thegradcafe.com/blogs/

No requirements really. Just that you don't mind sharing the occasional update and leaving them here for posterity.

Hey Folks,
Any of you interested in blogging your admissions journey? Reply here if so!

Hi All,
Wanted to test out the polling feature on the forum. Thought we'd try a softball question on TV watching!

Hi Folks,
It's been a while since I've had the time to dedicate any attention to the forum. Many thanks to rising star, Eigen and fuzzy_logician for keeping the show on the road.
Anyway - In past years we've opened up blogging to folks who were interested in sharing their admissions journey with a wider audience. If anyone is interested in doing that for this season, please reply to this thread!
Cheers

Hey Guys!
Who's interested in blogging their admissions story on the GradCafe? See previous journeys here. I've heard that it's quite cathartic ... :-)
PM or reply to this thread.

Perhaps I should take this as a warning about my time management...
That might be wise

Ha.
I remember in Feb/March/April, when new applicants were waiting to hear back, these number were in the 2 and 3 hundreds.
It is obvious that school has started.
Yep... maybe things will pick up again soon though

Hi Guys,
As you may have noticed we've been facing massive amounts of spam over the past several weeks. As a countermeasure I've made it so that all new members must wait for a moderator to approve a post before they will display.
This is obviously burdensome on the moderators, all of whom have better things to do be doing, but will have to do for now.
That reminds me - if anyone is interested in helping out with moderating the forums, your help would be greatly appreciated. Obviously we would only accept certain candidates, but if you want to throw your hat in the ring .. send me a PM.
That's all for now.
