First to publish, academic articles, and blogging

    So, I've been wondering about this for a little while. Where do I draw the line between blogging, and putting in jeopardy the first publication date for my academic papers? My understanding is that my thesis needs to be unique and original at the time of publication, but that if I blog bits of it before then, then I put that at risk because someone else might write a paper about it and publish it before me. Then again, how does blogging differ from progress seminars?

    Discuss.
