How to use a weblog to manage a group
A weblog is an ideal forum for your organization to manage group
activities and members. Blogs are easy to maintain and update. Any
group member who is authorized can add information to the group site.
Members can be added to the blog address book and be notified by email
of updates and changes as soon as they are made. Members who use
RSS newsreaders can subscribe to the group blog feed and see these
updates in their aggregators.
Here's how we recommend managing your group site:
1. Customize the look of your blog. Add your name and contact info. Add your group logo. Add a welcome message.
2. Read the blogs of your club members. We'll
keep you posted with updates about your members who are blogging.
You can then post articles with excerpts and links to their blogs.
3. Feature club members. Post articles that feature what members of your group are doing with their lives.
4. Photos:
It is very easy to upload photos to your group weblog. You can create
photo albums of events and build a nice archive of group photos in your
weblog. You can also feature photos from group members in your blog.
5. Set up categories for your group.
You can create a set of categories in your blog for the kinds of things
you do with your group. These could include events, service clubs
(Alumnae Career Choices Early Support System ACCESS; Alumnae Admissions
Representatives (AAR), Book Awards Support Requested, Center for Work
& Service (CWS) Representatives, International Hostesses, ALANA), other subgroups within your group. The people
responsible for managing these sub groups are assigned posting rights
for their categories.
Your blog can be as rich as your imagination and time make it.
