Why?

Why do I need another blog?

My webmaster never nomore gives me updates on my webpage, http://www.deltarchaeology.us/. Having blogs on yahoo and myspace seems to have greatly increased the traffic to my technical/professional site.

There are rumors yahoo360 (http://360.yahoo.com/mestarr) is closing. There is a lot of stuff on my yahoo360 page that needs to archived so that eventually I can integrate it with the webpage. My yahoo page "Starr's Science and History Blog" is perhaps too technical for the format, tho there are a few other folks on 360 with historical/tourism/naturalist blogs that I enjoy.

My myspace blog (http://myspace.com/maryestarr) is more personal stuff, but some of it--weather, crop, and wildlife observations--deserves to be part of Delta Archaeology.

I first started the above blogs in February/March 2007, as i was enemployeed and needed a form of entertainement that would keep me in the habit of writing. I have less time now, but some slack hours that I need to fill. For instance, I have to spend 3 hours every MWF at the Northwest Mississippi Community College tutoring center, and I ussually, like today, don't have much to do.

If you know me, or are interested in archaeology, please let me know what direction you'd like this blog to take. I plan for it to be more strictly archaeological than the other ones.
