How Long Between Posts Should a Blog be Listed on International Education Blogs & News?

I've been wanting to edit and enhance my International Education Blogs & News site for some time.  I came up with the idea for this site on my flight home from the Forum on Education Abroad conference in Portland in 2009 and while a few modifications have been made over the years these have been limited.

One of my first tasks is to clean up the blog feed and to remove those blogs listed that are no longer contributing to the discussion in the field.  So, I created a brief poll below to elicit feedback from IHEC Blog readers (and hopefully International Education Blogs & News visitors) on how long do you think a blog can be inactive to be included on International Education Blogs & News.  As I look through the various international education blogs feeding to International Education Blogs & News there are several that have not posted in many months.  There are some that are great blogs but are not too active and some that are clearly dead and need to be removed.  My question is "How Long Between Posts Should a Blog be  International Education Blogs & News?  Please take a moment to vote below.  Thanks in advance!

IHEC Blog is a featured blog in The New York Times "Headlines Around the Web" section focusing on international education

For quite some time The New York Times section on International Education (online) has been feeding IHEC Blog posts to their "Headlines Around the Web" section of the page.  I find this section of The New York Times to be one of the most informative news outlets to learn about happenings across the globe related to International Education so this is, of course, an exciting thing for me so I thought I would share.  IHEC Blog is also included in numerous blog rolls across the web and I'm thankful to each and every one who has found enough value in IHEC Blog to include it in their blog roll.

International Education Blogs & News site in need of a Makeover

Back on February 23, 2009 I started my International Education Blogs site (later renamed International Education Blogs & News) after I came up with the idea on the flight home from the Forum on Education Abroad conference in Portland.  IEB&N is essentially one large blogroll that also has Google news and YouTube video feeds for international education related topics.  I also link to most of my other new media spaces and projects from IEB&N.


I've been thinking about reworking IEB&N for some time now.  I want to change the look and feel of IEB&N as well as rethink what should be posted on, linked from and fed to the site.  I want IEB&N to serve as a new media clearinghouse for the field of international education that requires little work on my end as I have much on my plate.  The idea of a self-updating site is quite appealing.


Do you have any ideas?  I would love to hear from you!
