What would YOU want to know about creating an online presence during candidature?

So, if you were attending a talk called 'Creating an online presence during candidature', what exactly would you want to know?  Rather than this being some vague question, it's a very real one, as I've agreed to talk on this topic at next week's Research Careers Week for research students.  I've got some ideas - how to make connections with researchers using blogs; how to use your own blog as a promotional and networking tool for you and your work; the importance of trying to publish in open-access online journals; and a quick overview of MyResearchSpace - but I'm sure there are other obvious or interesting things I've not thought of!  So, if you've got any suggestions, ideas or the like, please leave a comment here!  Thanks!

By the way, the session will take place between 1.00 and 2.00pm on Thursday, 13th September in the Tattersall Lecture Theatre.  For a programme of everything else going in Research Career Week, check out the PSA's website.

One thing that I think would be worth discussing is the issue of whether it is better to have a single blog or to have different ones for different purposes? In particular, having a blog dedicated to your research and one that can be about general musings, personal things, etc? On myResearchSpace, there seems to be a reluctance for people to blog about their actual research and this is possibly because they believe it would be boring for the readers or their more reflective blog? This is a shame considering that blogs like the soil club are great and what myRS shoud also be about?
