Would you like your own weblog, hosted on the aect-members.org webserver? AECT may offer this as a member benefit, if we know that enough members are interested. This survey is by no means binding - we may or may not be able to go ahead with this as a benefit, and your responses here do not commit you to participating. At this point, we're just gathering information - and we're coming to you for advice.
