Kudos to The U. of Michigan libraries for offering blogging to all staff and students.
“Recognizing the popularity—and potential—of blogs, the University of Michigan has launched mBlog, a program offering free blogs to UM students and employees. The program is a collaboration of the University Library, Information Technology Central Services (ITCS), and the university’s Bentley Historical Library. Library officials said the project had been incubating for about a year and is the result of both student and faculty requests to use blogs and the library’s interest in “exploring new modes” of publishing. “The Library is providing a platform for interactive publishing and discourse,” Susan Hollar, the curriculum integration coordinator for the UM Library, said. To launch the program, the library purchased “off-the-shelf software,” which was then modified by ITCS to fit UM’s system.”
