So, I was just talking to Rachel and I learned the Stater blogs went live this week.

This was something on my “list” to roll out last semester, but because of technical difficulties and an MIA webmaster, we did as much as we could. (It was still a lot, we made a lot of changes including a redesign, teaming up with the campus TV station for more video, photo galleries almost daily, rolled out our first sports blog, etc.) But I had great plans that I never accomplished and which instead were relegated to me sitting down my last day at the office with the AME/Web telling him everything still left to do this semester when I was gone. lol.

I’m excited about the blogs. It’s a step in the right direction. They’re rough now and need some resituating (such as a submission form added to Overheard at KSU, which has been bumped over to the Stater for them to carry on… which was part of the plan all along.) I’m glad they’re doing the editor’s blog now. That was the blog I most wanted to roll out, so seeing it materialize, even after I’m gone, is nice.

Definitely a step in the right direction, guys. Now… play it up on the site, and don’t just bury them in the link list at the side, and you’ll have something.
