There are now a bunch of blog posts of mine over at Pimm starting with the following intro: In the live thesis building blogxperiment I edit (digest, compile, write, rewrite, delete) my ongoing doctoral thesis in blog posts and put the parts together on thesis live. The title: The physiologic role of stem cells in tissues with different regenerative potential.
My experience so far is that editing a thesis on a full blog engine, like Wordpress is an exciting, feasible and practical journey. I’d like to encourage every recent thesis writer – looking for an open science alternative – to give it a try. Transparency on the thesis level is good and the feedback is crucial.
Way to go Attila…

I have had a long interest in the issues surrounding this type of “Open Publishing” and I will be interested in understanding your experience of it, and the experience of your readers.
