website update for civicaccess

[Morgen Peers]

hi,

briefly, i think the fully CSS/HTML customizable web hub service Posterous.com should be examined as an option. It can do pages and portray a sense of permanency/static info while supporting "blogging" in a more social media-enabled way with various auto-posting features. With comments disabled or not, the use of the "blogging" platform could fulfill the same role as the wiki but in a more dynamic way with posting possible via e-mail, a very useful feature whenever a few hands are involved.

there are many general posterous blogs out there, but to see how one person re-purposed the Posterous infrastructure to create a site, check out food guru Mark Bittman's site.

a lightweight solution. just one idea.

best,

morgen

Thanks Morgen!

We already have a blog and that is datalibre.ca;  what I am hoping for, is someone creative to come up with a nice logo or header for a webpage and someone to create something simple that would just be a landing page that would include the essential bits such as a links to the list, what civicaccess is etc.  We have an interesting network but a terrible web presence at the moment and anything that will just make it look a bit better would be great.

cheers

Morgen!  That would be great.  I am going to send your contact info too gabe sawhney who has been taking care of hosting the site.

It need only be a wordpress with some pages.  it would just be great to just have a good place for people to land.

Cheers
