There is a killer new interface coming out- and this YouTube video gives us the sneak peak.
So about the new Journeys to America blog:
As you may know, I recently took a position at Luther College working on their NHPRC grant-funded project Journeys to America. I decided to begin a project blog that documents the process, not only for our own internal record keeping (it's a great tool come interim report time) but also for other users who may be in the same boat as us. We're using the open-source software Archon to create a digital catalog of materials and there has been a lot of trial-and-error.
Since its launch, there has been quite a lot of traffic on the site, thanks to a mention in the NHPRC March Newsletter. I've also already had hits from Google searches for Archon troubleshooting help. So far, it seems to be holding up to our expectations.
This all brings me back to this post. Why don't you give Blogger a try? It is so easy to use and is a great way to market your organization and/or a specific project. Plus, you can add multiple authors, so your entire staff can contribute. It's a great implementation of Web 2.0 technology and allows you to have a stronger web presence with minimal effort.
