In the exploration of ways to make the web site easier to update I took a closer look at the concept of blogging as a means for posting announcements, articles, etc. This is how it works:

 

·         Anyone in our department who has a valid account on our web site AND permission can create a blog.

·         The blog can be moderated if desired, comments can be posted, etc.

·         User can post to their blog from the web site, or from tools such as Windows Live Writer (FREE) or Word 2007 ($$$). Posts can be public or private.

·         The blogs are displayed in a common viewer on our web site. We can make that viewer private or public. The blogs can also be filtered by name of the blogger and by month. The blogs are also searchable.

 

I defined a new tab on the web site called BLOG so you can see a few examples. I took the liberty of creating an FLMFPD Blog (for overall types of entries), as well as one for Steve and myself. I encourage you to login to the site, create your own blog, and post something. I’d be interested to read your thoughts on this.
