Actually, and this is not to be negative about
Glen's website which is fine as a news site,
but that isn't really a blog.  I think what
Christine is seeking is a site which has places
for extensive comments that people can submit
via the page, then everyone can read them, and
others can follow up.

I suspect this format is quite new as related to
Museums.  But there are plenty of individuals
who have them.

An example of a blog would be on the CollectSpace.com
website.   Go to:
http://collectspace.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

Notice the topics and look at how the forum works.
My guess is that Christine is looking for a site
that offers content similar to what we find on
this list-serve, but in a form that is there
for casual reading.

Hope this helps.
