Being an adjunct college instructor has its own unique set of hurdles and road blocks—many times including living in limbo between the college campus where you teach and the office you call your own. Many adjuncts aren’t given any office space or use common office space, can’t find a place to meet with students outside of the classroom, or find it tough to balance the part-time teaching position with other jobs. All of this leaves little opportunity to network. So, it’s the few who extend the hand of camaraderie to others—even if that hand is thousands of miles away and via the Internet—who interest us. One way to extend a hand is to create and write a weblog (blog).

Two blogs produced by adjunct college professors stand out as leading in the efforts to reach out to others with helpful information, either for adjuncts in general or for specific groups of instructors with specific teaching issues and related subjects. These two adjunct professor bloggers also go the extra mile to reach students through their Internet blogs. And if all else fails, they at the very least leave an impression of life from their perspective.
