The following are a few entry points into the site's content:

• Abstract: gives a brief summary of the study.
• Preface: describes how I become interested in place blogging as a research topic.
• Table of Contents: provides an overview of the dissertation chapters.
• Ectone archives: collects primary sources related to the Ecotone place blogging community, one of the main subjects of this study.
• Whereproject blog: the place blog that I've been keeping (off and on) since 2003.
