Yo don’t have to read blogs for long to discover that most of the best bloggers cover particular “beats.” Will‘s got the read-write Web, Gillmor covers new media, and Alex Steffen posts about environmentalism, to name just three of the dozens of bloggers I read regularly.

I’ve never felt like I had a particular beat, choosing to cut a wide swath instead. But I’m going to give it a try with a new project I’m working on. We going to be building an online curriculum repository at school, and I’ve been doing quite a bit of thinking about how the final product should look. Watch this space for periodic brain dumps on the topic.
