As a fourth year doctoral candidate, in addition to having completed comprehensive examinations and prospectus and working on the dissertation, my thoughts are also turning towards the job market and securing that first academic position. This purpose of this blog is to chronicle the trials and tribulations of completing my Ph.D. and finding that first job.

Statistics for September

First of all, let me say that I appreciate those people who contine to come to this blog, even when I haven't been updating it that much in this past month. I have been busy working on my dissertation, a post-doctoral fellowship application, and five presentation at AECT and three at the Virtual School Symposium. I will be honest and say that October probably won't be much better, although I'm sure that the AECT conference will provide me with some material, particularly my experiences as a Cochran Intern and all.

As of this moment there are 2514 hits to this blog based upon the straight counter. It read 2398 at the end of August. These hits came from 98 unique visitors: 89 first timers and 9 repeat offenders for an average of 3 visitors a day.

These visitors came from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Austria, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and India.

Until next month...
