It is a combination of guest blogging and anonymous commenting. The context is fairly limited, only to the Kara Walker exhibition, but does allow for a lot more participation without as many barriers.

It's definitely one to think about and I imagine will be solved differently by each institution. Also, guest posts are a great idea for blogs - it brings in a new voice, it's a post you don't have to write, and you're right about them generally being very popular posts. I can't always tell why that is, maybe they ask their friends to come read it? :) @Brian – Thanks for the clarification on the inter-blog linking.

Clearly blog link farms are unethical, whilst citing postings in other blogs is a fundamental aspect of blogging. Between these two extremes we are likely to fine some fuzzy areas - and this is a area I think is worth exploring (and is something I plan to post about in the near future. On the subject of encouraging comments, I recently introduced the conecpt of a "Guest Blogger" - and the posting on "<a href="http://ukwebfocus.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/guest-post-uk-library-blogs-what-do-we-think-were-doing/" rel="nofollow">Guest Post: UK Library Blogs - What Do We Think We're Doing?</a>" generated the second highest numbers of visits, and also a significant number of comments. I'm now planning on having a guest blogger post at the start of every month. I asked the first question which was about ethical approaches to improving blog ranking through generating links.

Back when this thing was newer we used to highlight a few new museum blogs every once and a while. Perhaps this is a way to help promote other institutional blogs, without keeping an exhaustive list on the site.
