About MuseumBlogs.org
MuseumBlogs.org is a directory of museum and museum-related blogs as well as a space for re-postings and roundups. The purpose of the site is to raise awareness and increase the authority of blogs focusing on museum issues. Authority is used by search engines to filter results. The more links, the more authority and more visible a blog will become.
The Directory
A publicly editable, moderated directory provides a central website for listings to museum and museum-related blogs.
The Blog
We encourage re-posting from qualified blogs and bloggers. The aim of MuseumBlogs.org is to drive visitors to other museum blogs and increase their authority. If you're interested in re-posting or creating roundups which focus on the museum blog world, please feel free to contact us for password and log in information.
Who and Why?
This site was developed by Ideum. We're a small design company that develops interactive exhibits and websites for museums. The idea for MuseumBlogs.org came about after we developed a survey of museum blogs & community sites in March of 2006. One of the major outcomes was that the vast majority of museum blogs lack authority which was covered in a follow up post on the Ideum blog. It's our hope that MuseumBlogs.org will help increase communities’ awareness and authority.
Policies
MuseumBlogs.org is run as a public service and encourages community participation. The site does not accept commercial advertising of any kind.

At last we really do believe that the sun will be returning to us! From the base we can now see a glow on the horizon behind Mount Erebus and Mount Terror. It’s there for longer every day, and today you could see it between 11am and 3pm.…

Dear Miss Griffis;-
Your two letters of Feb. 11 & 26 respectively came to hand yesterday and I was delighted to hear from you, especially as your seeming neglect I now know to have been due to faulty mail service. This is really not a letter just a note in acknowledgement of

I?ve decided not to share anything anymore. Too much of a hassle, really. I have to trust the person not to mess my stuff up, then I have to trust them to give it back. And really, what?s in it for me? I don?t make any money off sharing. I don?t get any satisfaction from […]

Originally taken by Tehm, I sliced the image into separate images that showed differing levels of exposure - from just the clouds, to just the hill with an overexposed…
