Tim Lockridge

Rhetoric & Writing colleagues: I made a website that tracks new books in the field: rhetorlist.net I've too often missed the announcement for a great new book, only to find it months (or years!) later. Rhetorlist tries to solve that problem. I hope it's useful. (1/4)

In my 1999 dissertation, titled Writing Networks, I argued that writing technologies teach students things that conflict with writing teachers' pedagogy. Technologies have pedagogy too. This is why it's important for folks in our field to *make* them not just use them.

#UMPAnnotates continues the conversation about #DigitalWriting and #DigitalEducation with Writing Workflows by @timlockridge and @derekvan. Find out how to contribute to the discussion below. blog.press.umich.edu/2022/03/ump-an…

@derekvan @anetv If you want a CMS that you can log into and edit, I think WordPress is still the best and easiest free solution (especially if your hosting company has a one-click install and auto-updating).

@derekvan @anetv I will use Pico for the next site I make. I like Jekyll and other static site generators, but unless you’re using GitHub pages, Jekyll has dependencies to manage. Pico is just PHP & Markdown & is easier to maintain—as long as you’re ok with writing everything in Markdown.

What's the best CMS/system for personal academic websites nowadays? Do you love your method/site and is it easy to update? I have my own hosting and webskillz and am not interested in commercial sitebuilders. Thank you for recs!!

So excited to share that Writing Workflows the book is now officially published: digitalrhetoriccollaborative.org/books/writing-… @timlockridge and I are excited to hear what people think. Thanks especially to the generosity of our research participants @viticci @ttscoff @MacSparky

@BridgetGelms I still talk about that exchange. So perfectly Kate.

@Johanna_Social @derekvan Thanks so much!

.@timlockridge @derekvan I came upon the processed word site today, in my weekly self-flagellation (i.e., how I do a retrospective). Thank you! I feel seen and better, de-pathologized! Super excited to finish reading because beyond workflow and a little therapy, nerd. 😍

@robinsloan highly recommend A Closer Listen (@acloserlisten) and Headphone Commute (@H_C)

@MandyRhae @cookingandcomp @HCWEMiami We must chat about it in the fall!

@cookingandcomp @HCWEMiami @timlockridge Oh, @timlockridge , I am hooked on this show too now! Thanked to Caitlin (and you!)!

We also want to shout out @timlockridge, a true Helper for many of us. He gave the best-attended @HCWEMiami workshop this year on writing tools & process and he is a kind, generous, & insightful support for anyone who needs it. He was our Writing Scholar in Residence this year.

@HCWEMiami This is such a kind thing to say. Thank you. I am grateful for my amazing colleagues at the HCWE!

@timlockridge @amglotfelter How did you make this? Care to share??

Good morning, all! @amglotfelter here to host the first day of #WritersProgress activities! Today, we're asking you to map your writing/research/teaching journey this past semester and post a picture of it. Keep reading to see the map that I made of my quarantine semester!! 😷

@MikeRTrice @JasonCKTham @onlyalishak @LitaStarr @cbdilger @chellemcmullin The next phase of the project is to add previous years, so I hope the site will soon be more useful for graduate seminars & surveys of the field!

@JasonCKTham @onlyalishak @LitaStarr @cbdilger @chellemcmullin @timlockridge It was. Thanks!

@caseyliss Yes? But I think John was also right: dial-up lived and died without ever losing its hyphen. The Apple Style Guide says that dial-up is only an adjective, and it shouldn't be used as a verb. But I think it's a noun here, so we're just breaking all the rules.

@timlockridge So does that mean #teamcasey then?

@lecagle @zoltanmajdik Thank you! Our next step: Building spaces to share and circulate this kind of knowledge. This is an important part of our work & too often invisible or inherited.

@lecagle @latetreault @tcquarterly Hooray! Spread the word. I wish more journals would add public-facing RSS feeds.

@latetreault Many library databases offer RSS feeds for journals & if you use a citation manager like Zotero, you can add those RSS feeds & track new articles within the app: zotero.org/support/feeds It's not a perfect solution, and not all journals have RSS feeds, but I've found it helpful.

@jgrouling I’m not sure, but I should definitely ping @coffeebreak808

@BridgetGelms Too soon!

@BridgetGelms I've been teaching the Miami editing course for a few years & have thoughts on this if you want to chat sometime. Re: readings, be sure to check out Emmy Favilla's *A World Without Whom*. (Also, yes, I'm reading Twitter at a ~3 week delay. Am I old yet?)
