Paul broke the ice by posting in every blog to keep them active while we were working to get the institution excited about it. Since our departmental authors have taken more ownership of their blogs and become independant Paul has moved into writing mostly on the Off Center blogs.

Paul posts about news and current events related to the arts and culture. He also uses the blogs to test run potential articles for the Walker magazine. Schmelzers writing appeals to a mainstream audience interested in the arts. He also blogs at Eye Teeth
