Publishing Online

All right, I think I've got this figured out now.  We're going to use Blogger because I think we can make it work.  I'm experimenting today with a few students to see the best way of going about this.  My plan is to have Featured Articles (the newest posts) and then links to Student Articles by title on the right-hand side.  Here's what I need from all of you:

1. If you're willing to do some experimentation today or tomorrow, please let me know ASAP (email or drop in and see me is fine).  You would need to have your publication piece ready to go and have a little bit of time to try a couple of different ways of publishing.
2. We need a name for our blog (or webzine, if you prefer).  Right now I've called it IHS Speaks but I feel like that's probably kind of dorky.  If you have a clever name, send it my way.  If we get several good ones, we'll put it to a vote.
3. A bit of patience.  It's set up, but I don't think it's ready to go until we test drive a couple of things so just hold your horses.  I'm hoping by Monday you guys can be posting and sharing at will.
4. When it IS all a go, what I REALLY need from all of you--even if you're not ready to publish your own piece--is to get on, see what it looks like, and share the link to the blog OR your favorite articles via Facebook and Twitter so we can blast it out there and get lots of readers.  I'll put the link in the Daily Announcements, the IHS Facebook page, and get it on the school website.  But to get your student readers, YOU will be the best way to share.  I've made it easy to share by including UpTweet and Share to Facebook gadgets right on the blog.

Let me know if you have questions or if you can help with a name or a piece to publish!
