Hi Nadja,
I'm also studying online religion, in particularly religious blogging in Australia. Would love to compare notes sometime.
I also feel somewhat in the same problem as everyone else who's posted on the topic - trying to find a theoretical framework by which to analyse online content. Thanks to all those who've offered suggestions.
I'm now going through John Thornton Caldwell's (ed.) Electronic Media and Technoculture (New Brunswick NJ: Rutgers University Press, 2000). There's some good writing on social histories of technology which are offering me some questions to consider as I approach online religion.

Hello Ulrike, Drew and Yanuar,
I'm currently doing a study on religious websites in Germany. Therefore I'm also looking for qualitative methods for analysing web content and conducting e-mail interviews. At the moment I'm trying to apply relativly new hermeneutic methods from the narrative identity research (as basics see Ulrich Oevermann, for a complex method of text analysis on narrative identities see Gabriele Lucius-Hoene (only in German)) in a modified way for my analysis. But I would also be very interessted in seeing your works on Grounded Theory, Drew. (Maybe you could send me a copy?) Considering the diversity and complexivity of qualitative methods I would be very happy to get into deeper discussions with you.
Greetings from Germany Nadja
