The List is to communicate GAGenWeb business, and it's purpose and use
should not change.
The blog could be a way to get folks with special interests or skills to
contribute to the state site.
To communicate ideas or other learning ventures that folks don't want
cluttering their list mail.
For instance:
We could create a category called The Georgia Archives.
Linda or Vivian, or anyone who frequents the Archives in Morrow, could
write a post every now and then on new collections, things they have
found of use to the whole group, etc. Classes they may be having, etc.
Someone (of the CC group) or more than one person who has an interest in
Native American Research, or any Specific Research Topic could ask for
an Author Logon and post jointly and/or severally any information, new
links, problems, etc., that they may want to share on that topic. I
could post some FAQs I always get about Cherokee research from folks who
email Pickens.
We could setup a topic called Online Training. We could let folks post
about the classes they have found online -- like
Lynda.com and the HTML
Guild. And sites that have great interfaces for creating CSS by typing
in the boxes and watching the results -- or sites that will create META
tags.
We might even invite guest columnists -- like someone from the State
Historical Society? Who might like to log on from time to time and let
us all know about some new collections they have -- or seminars, or
research opportunities. So we would create a posting category for State
Historical Society -- and give that person an Author Logon.
We could have a post category on RSS Feeds and it could be Roger's!!
(He'll just love that!) He can better explain RSS Feeds and tell of
sources to find readers. Maybe even add information for how to
subscribe to the State Archives website feed or other site feeds that he
may find of interest to Georgia GenWeb folks.
Note that this board is open for anyone who registers to comment on a
post. So, all CCs can participate to the degree that they want to.
They can ask for a category to be set up for their use -- or they can
add comments to a post made by someone who is an Author or Editor.
