So the Electronic Literature Organisation just got a freshly designed version of their website, built using blogging software so it’ll be far more frequently updated, and with a really nice showcase of electronic literature.

Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – […]
Having your own words processed and restated can help you improve your thinking and your writing. That’s one reason why talking with someone about your ideas can help you clarify your thoughts. ChatGPT is certainly no replacement for a knowledgable friend or colleague, […]
Like the rest of the internet, I’ve been playing with ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot released by OpenAI, and I’ve been fascinated by how much it does well and how it still gets a lot wrong. ChatGPT is a foundation model, that […]
A few weeks ago Meta released Galactica, a language model that generates scientific papers based on a prompt you type in. They put it online and invited people to try it out, but had to remove it after just three days after […]

I was wondering when exactly does it become a website if it looks, acts and feels like a blog…even made “using blogging software”? or am I being overly pedantic (or perhaps overly loyal to blogging).

Oh, surely blog is a subcategory of website? Like, everything’s a website (well, if it has a URL it is) and then you can have different kinds of websites, like blogs, search engines, journals, home pages and so on.

The old ELO site also featured news prominently on the front page, and that news was ordered reverse-chronologically, but that news feed was built using some custom script written before blogging software was common. And then there were the same links to information about the organization, the Electronic Literature Directory, and so on. Was the old page a blog as well?

I suppose in a kind of way – but what I think is done particularly well about the redesign is that it oth offers easy access to a showcase of electronic literature and offers frequently updated news. The more prominent date stamps and archives make it easier for readers to see that this is a site that’s likely to be worth returning to.

I like the new site:-)

Maybe one should write (or perhaps it’s already written) the paper “What. if anything, is a blog”, following those biology papers on the contrast between folk categories and real taxonomic differences – “What, if anything, is a rabbit”, “What, if anything, is a zebra…”
