And they say blogging is dead. A sampling of the medieval blogosphere's vitality, with an emphasis on new blogs:
- Randy Schiff has a new blog, Terri-stories, on land, law and literature. His post on Scotland and independence came just as I was revising an old blog post on lithic Scottish history for my book and is especially good.
- Angie Bennett Segler has an excellent blog called A Material Piers Living in a Digital World. Especially excellent are her posts on data versus publication and collectivity, collaboration and generosity (a response to her first troll).
- Medieval Ecocriticisms features Rob Bartlett's excellent Kzoo presentation on tangled banks and vegetal bodies.
- Maggie Williams rounds up Kalamazoo at our favorite collective's blog, The Material Collective.
- Anne Harris' Medieval Meets World is going strong, with an awesome series of posts on Gathering and Kinship.
- The Massachusetts State Medieval blog has much content, including a guest post by Jonathan Hsy.
- Anthony Bale's Remembered Places is a beautifully written blog about Holy Land sites and their simulacra.
- David Perry's How Did We Get Into This Mess? is a model of public intellectual outreach.
- A Clerk of Oxenford brings together English history and literature with some remarkable images and texts.
- Rick Godden's excellent new blog, ParaSynchronies.
What am I missing?

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jeffrey-- and for the plug for a very new (just days old!)adventure. I also want to let you, Karl, Mary Kate, Eileen, Jonathan, and all the many guest posters know that In the Middle has been my main inspiration in starting Terri-Stories. It is wonderful to temporarily escape the limitations of rarified, purely academic writing, and to imagine addressing myself to larger, more varied publics. I've been often inspired by In the Middle, and I hope I can contribute even a tiny fraction of such engagement with readers.
Bale's blog is just outstanding. Thank you for including me on the list and, in general, for being a key node in the network of online medievalists.
@Randy and @David: So happy that Jeffrey has written this post and is showcasing your work alongside that of the other bloggers listed above; I think it's great that ITM continues to address varied audiences and can also help point readers to other exciting blogs out there (including brand new ones!).
I just thought of another blog of note: Anna Smol's blog "A Single Leaf," which offers a very a useful grand collation of post-Kalamazoo write-ups (including many of the blogs noted in Jeffrey's post). I notice that she's been updating the list periodically as new things appear in the blogosphere:

Thank you for this post and thanks to Jonathan for mentioning my collection of Kzoo write-ups. In compiling my list I discovered Yvonne Seale's blog, Furta Sacra, which I think is worth following: http://furtasacra.typepad.com/blog/
@annasmol: Your collection of Kzoo write-ups is great, and thanks for noting Yvonne Seale's blog too!
First of all: Thanks for telling about those great blogs. We'll gladly add them to our blogroll.
Secondly: "What am I missing?" Maybe us, a medieval studies blog called "Mittelalter. Interdisziplinäre Forschung und Rezeptionsgeschichte". We publish for instance presentations of ongoing and finished research projects in our "1000 Words (of) Research / 1000 Worte Forschung", short or longer articles ("Opuscula"), translations of medieval latin texts, review digests etc., in English, German, French:
