The Blog Herald has a preview of a forthcoming PBS blog called MediaShift, and it sounds enticing.

PBS has announced the launch on Jan 18 of a a new blog called MediaShift, which will explore how new forms of digital media are dramatically changing American society and culture.

In a particularly good signing, and the main reason we are even mentioning this blog at all, the new blog will be written by Mark Glaser, probably best know more recently in the blogosphere for his excellent writing for the USC Annenberg School for Communication’s Online Journalism Review.

MediaShift will offer a continuing look at how digital media such as blogs, RSS, podcasts, citizen journalism, wikis, news aggregators and video repositories are altering the way we live, play and work. The site is said to provide a window into this world for the average user while offering enough details to satisfy the more technically savvy, and will offer ongoing opportunities for active public participation and feedback.

I've switched templates for my blog to Flint, a new Tinderbox weblog assistant. I'll move last year's posts "ESL Writing & Technology 2005." Because it's still beta, it needs some fine tuning. Right now, for instance, the blogroll isn't working. And I need to tweak the 2005 files so the links work correctly.

All the entries before this one belong to Mark Bernstein, the creator of Flint and Tinderbox. Both are these are great tools, so I've included his ad for Flint:

This is Flint, the new Tinderbox Weblog Assistant. Flint sets up weblogs to your specifications, and gives you lots of options for color, layout, and style.

More than simply a template set or theme, Flint is a tool kit of Tinderbox techniques for integrating styles and Web services into your site.

We're constantly extending and revising Flint. When you purchase Flint, you'll get a year of free updates!

Let me add that Flint is an assistant, meaning you also need the Tinderbox software, a great tool for notetaking, brainstorming, simply managing information and knowledge.
