I’m headed out in a few hours to help facilitate for folks from different writing projects who are thinking strategically about their web presence(s). Should be an interesting opportunity to check in with colleagues, meet some familiar names, put faces to them, and work together to learn more about how to take the good work of local sites online.
As I prepare to depart, though, I wanted to point out some great comments and feedback I’ve gotten regarding why teachers join corporate groups. Steve mentioned my post on the subject from a while back and his community’s gotten active in explaining some of their passion. That’s good, and they deserve more of a response from me — but I can’t pull it off right now. Watch for it soon. In the meantime, read the original post and chime in.
Look for thoughts about web presence(s) this weekend via the blog, assuming I’m not all consumed by the conversations. Which is entirely possible. If that happens, look for them next week.

Looking forward to some of those deep conversations this weekend. See you Friday.

Bud, what do you think so far about the developing web presence of the CSUWP Advanced Institute blog? When groups agree to blog together, is it okay that they talk mainly to one another, or is it important to generate outside traffic as well? I can’t see that the former could be a problem, but if the latter is true, that would be icing on the cake. However, I’m still a little fuzzy about how that happens.
This is all coming about because I’m at an NWP planning meeting right now, too, and yesterday, someone made the comment that “We’ve got to stop presenting just to one another.” It struck me that the same could be true for blogging.
