Welcome to the U of A, MBA, Tech Comm blog

Looked into Blogger and Facebook, and Blogger seems better suited for sharing articles, ideas, organizing events, etc. Facebook looks better for just tying into networks and the like. I suppose both serve a purpose.

I would envision all alumni to be authors with Michael and maybe a couple of alumni appointed as administrators. All authors can add postings, administrators can delete. In bottom right corner of the blog is a list of contributors, which link to peoples profiles, which in turn can link to personal blogs.

Visibility can be set to public for all to see, or it can be limited to a specific list of accounts, or it can be limited to authors of the blog. Since technically all students could be authors, we could go with that option if we didn't want a public blog.

I've heard that widgets can be inserted into the blog like calendars and the like, which I'll look into for organizing events.

That's all for now... See you in class.
