Having looked back on my previous posts I have noticed that they have been on an unregular basis. As a result of this I need to make more of an effort to at least put a comment on my blog every other day, if not everyday until the hand in date of my dissertation.
I will have more to write about now, as I am beginning to flesh out my dissertation. I also have found some more journal articles and usefull websites to write posts about.
