Blogger Posts Go to E-mail

If you receive this post in your e-mail, it means the the new feature I added is working.

Henceforth, when anyone creates a post on the blog, it will simultaneously be sent to a n e-mail address that is linked to 8RLLIB on Groupwise.

To summarize: 1) You don't need to do anything special. Just post to the blog and the post will show up in our Groupwise e-mail. 2) If you read your e-mail you'll be seeing all the blog posts without actually having to go to the blog itself. 3)If you wish to send an e-mail to 8RLLIB using your Gmail or Yahoo accounts, you can now do so. Just address the e-mail to: garyduke.8librarians@blogger.com

How to Get Started with Blogging

Here's a brief screencast I did for the Environmental Ministry Committee blog at my church. Of course, you'll need your speakers on when you view it. As I recall, it's only about 4 minutes and it MAY help you get a grasp on all this ... if you haven't done it before. Notice that I've created a label "blogsavvy" which we can use to include notes to help us with the blog itself (as opposed to what the blog is actually about).

Program Review Rubric

Here's a copy of the (Program Review Rubric) which lays out what the final report will have to include. Don't overlook page 3 of the PDF where the criteria for the "grading" of the report is laid out and page 4 where definitions (like the meaning of "contact requirements" are given.

Suggested Labels

Here are some suggested labels/subjects that we might address with blog entries:

strengths
weaknesses
opportunities
threats
stakeholders
contact requirements
measurements
