I plan to present the stem cell research info at the end of January and put something on the blog. Dave is researching an increase of the minimum wage and I am sure that he will do a post on that. Someone should also do a post on financial aid/ the debt hits hard info. It should spark more blog comments because we would have discussed the issues at meetings.

There's something to say for the look we've got right now. BTW, you all have to check out the Olbermann special comment in the "Sacrifice" post above. We may have to play it at our meeting next week.

I agree we should start putting youtube content up here... like guest speakers & "5 minutes w/ John" and other interesting content. Alright, I'm not that interesting... I have a video camera, and could easily upload that stuff. The question is editing out the bad stuff & adding an ending slide that says to go to the unodemocrats blog. Perhaps our technology chair could be responsible for doing that? *Laura-* my rule of thumb is, if I don't know what to write, go find something interesting someone else has written, or a an interesting photo, or a video, and link to it. then add *at most* 50-100 words talking about it. Sometimes just a simple "Word." or "Exactly" kind of statement at the end is enough. Also, see what I just wrote for Jared about video content. *kyle-* your blog has the most readers and frontpages on Kos. But no one can deny that there's no more pimpin a blog in Nebraska than the UNODems. *everyone-* can we come up with a catchy new name for our blog? Like UNODB or Blue Campus? or something? *Dave-* you rock. this is exactly the type of reason you got the award. keep rocking.

Laura - My rule of thumb is write whatever the hell you feel like writing, as long as it's political. It doesn't have to be long. Hell, it can be a link and a paragraph. It can be a YouTube video. It can be a funny photo. It can be a rant, or an essay. I think if we have a team effort we can have new content up (almost) every day. Readers will come if we start to promote the website again, and they'll come back if we are updating frequently. Kyle - Heh. Just doing our part to make sure you and Ryan aren't the only ones ranting on the internets here in Nebraska.

I'm especially impressed by John's ideas for advertising the blog guerilla-style. If I had a horde of minions and even a hint of entrepeneurial instinct, I'd lift the entire playbook for my own purposes. Absent that, I'll just wish you all luck. It's hard out here for a pimp, and this is one of the pimper (more pimp? pimpest?) websites around. About frickin’ time y’all get your act together.

But when it comes to posts, I always wonder, "What should I write?" I wrote the one post, and it didn't get much of a response, which leaves me wondering what sorts of things we're looking for here. Digg sounds like a great idea! A store would also do quite well, I think. How would we set that up? That's something we can discuss... We still have those nine new buttons I made a while back that never went into production, too. I do some of my part by checking in to moderate posts/delete spam crap/update the calendar…

If you don't know what digg is, or have not heard of the digg effect, i have gladly decided to paste the urbandictionary definition of it for you below ;) Derived from slashdot effect, an insane increase in traffic after a link to a news article is promoted to the digg.com front page. This is sort of like an unintentional DDOS attack, but sometimes the increased traffic (and ad exposure) causes webmasters and bloggers to post links to their sites on digg. The digg effect will usually not have much of an effect on larger websites but small websites may be shut down quickly due to the server not being able to cope with the high amount of requests or because all of their bandwidth is consumed. I wanted ad clicks so I submitted my copied blog post to digg. It got promoted and my website was shut down due to the digg effect.
