The question I just posted. Is it good enough?
Is blogging a way of reconciling experience in the form of narrative as a means of constructing self and understanding place?
It has my three main themes: narrative, self, and place. It refers to the central focus: blogging. It kind of refers to my major discussion point: that blogging is a way of documenting experience and keeping a record of past positioning and opinion in order to have something to look back on in the future, and that the blog itself operates as a space in which one can thrash out and work through the issues buzzing around in ones mind.
The wording needs a little tweaking: it’s too … wordy. But I’ll get there.

Would it work as:
Is blogging a means for constructing self and understanding place?
Reconciling experience is a techne of the self? And therefore just another part of self construction?

Hmm… indeed, Peter, indeed. That’s a great suggestion. I like it how your suggestion is so simple and succinct and yet pretty much exactly the idea I’m going for. Want to write the rest of my candidacy proposal?
Can you tell that this is something I’ve been banging my head against the wall about? Gosh.
