Education blogosphere survey

Hear ye! Hear ye!

All education bloggers are hereby invited and encouraged to…

complete the short and completely unscientific, but hopefully interesting, education blogosphere survey;

forward the URL of said survey to all other known education bloggers to ensure decent representation of the education blogosphere; and

publicize said survey URL on their own blogs to foster greater participation in this most noble endeavor.

Survey results received by Sunday, January 14, shall be posted in the town square on Wednesday, January 17.

Those solicited who choose not to participate shalt be labeled both publicly and widely as dastardly scoundrels, notty-pated hedgepigs, or beslubbering, doghearted, maggot-ridden canker-blossoms!
