Blog notes

I spent 90 minutes today discussing the front end of a new blog that I'm helping to launch. The project is a recasting of an online design 'zine - web-delivered, but with a magazine format. While freed of the cost of printing, it was very time-consuming to put together. Those of us involved with it found it difficult to put out more than one or two issues a year. (It reminds me of the cooperative preschool my oldest son attended as a tot: more about process than product.) Blogs devolve a great deal to the contributors. The editors act as impresarios and curators, but within a context of improvisation rather than design. This makes it easier to attract contributors and to keep the flow of content going - at least, that's the hope!
