Pach linked our site last night in his FDL late nite post! Now the pressure's on to live up to his expectations... yikes.
Hopefully, you've had the chance to poke around here a bit... but if not, please consider this your invitation - there's more than the blog page! We have a place for photo albums, our own wikispace and the ability to podcast if you are so inclined.
For posting photos, there is an index page with a link to each photo album. Photo albums are initially displayed with just thumbnail pictures (thinking of those of us on dial-up lines), to see the full size pictures, just click on one of the thumbnails and that will take you to the fullsize picture gallery. So, send me your Roots Project pictures and I'll get them posted for you! In the near future I hope to add a flikr link function.
There's also a resource page, with a link to our wikispace, which I've just started to edit - please join me. One reason I love wikis, is their collaborative nature. We all can edit both the pages we create and the pages created by others. This could be a powerful resource to keep track of the writings, speeches, legislative action and committee work of our elected representatives and candidates. Editing our wiki space requires an easy sign up to create a username (aliases are fine). I've sent out email invitations to sign up via the MA state project google-group, but if you haven't gotten the invite, don't let that stop you... please consider this your invitation. You can sign up by creating a personal username and joining the NetRootsMass wikispace (or just send me an email via the website contact page).
Finally, the blog page is currently limited to single user posting - yuck. I really want to make this a group blog, so any group member can post. That functionality is in the works... in the mean time please consider this your invitation to post via email (see the contact link at the bottom of the page?). Email me your post, a picture to include (if you have one) and the name (or alias) you want to post under.
