Working, working, working. I know it doesn’t look like it, but I am doing quite a bit of background work here on Blog News Co-op. And yes, I realize that 90% of the posts here have been offering just that. It’s just that I think this is such a good idea that I’m not willing to let it die.
What’s going on — BIG and small:
- Updated the blog to WordPress 3.0 (Beta-1). Sure, it’s beta, but the next beta should be out within a few days, and the final version should be ready by the first of May.
- Updated the theme.
- Working on a list of bloggers to contact regarding their ideas, suggestions, support, and input.
- Working on a business model that will (ideally) make the co-op self-sufficient, and provide some modest compensation to contributors.
- Working on an editorial model that will allow staff and reader content to be submitted, edited, and available for use by the blogging community.
- Developing the list of categories for stories we will cover. A separate post on those will follow soon.
- Looking at the best options for licensing distributable content.
- Spreading the word. This may seem small, but it is probably the biggest thing that needs to be done.
- Whatever else needs to be done.
