Writing a blog post encourages reflection much like recording thoughts in a journal. Some considerations: Is the resource credible? Is the resource important? Can I apply the resource to my practice? Do I need to add it to my library? Is it potentially valuable to my colleagues or should I just bookmark it privately?

In the sidebar, I’ve added a new category that I will continue to build: Dietitian’s Toolkit. Here I will place resources that the acute care dietitian may need to refer to on a regular (daily to several times weekly) basis.

Well, after a five-month hiatus, I’m going to try blogging again. I’ve saved many links in my Connotea library, which I am using and building on a regular basis. Connotea is one of the reasons I stopped blogging: I had created this blog to keep track of resources. Connotea does this much better than I could ever hope to do myself.
So, do I need to keep a blog? Not sure. Here’s the experiment. I will try to use the blog to record my opinions about and experiences with nutrition and evidence-based practice resources. It will be a (public) record of some thinking and testing on my part….which may (I hope) make me evaluate more critically and choose tools based on how practical and pertinent they are to practice, rather than because they are the next new, pretty-to-look-at, fun-to-play with tech toy or Web 2.0 application.
