[CBW_Exec] FW: Changes to CBW page

Thu Mar 26 13:28:37 CDT 2009

Hi Shannon--

Sorry, not following you!  What idea do you like?  Is there something
else you want me to do?  Are you saying I should be the editorial board
on?  Just trying to follow all of the comments!  Let me know.

Here's what I've done:  changed BWe to Basic Writing e-journal (the
tag), added Kelly, added the mission/information from the "about us"
page that you (Shannon) e-mailed the group yesterday.  What else should
I do before we "announce"?

I'm glad you like it.  I think it's going to be a good resource!  It's
also very, very easy to update--so no worries!

I like that idea, Liz. It is a tiny bit buried in the current
configuration
of the website and I don't quite know a good solution to that. One
great one
would be to repeat it at the blog.

Regarding whether it should be separate page or not: whatever you
think. I'm
game!

Also: once you have it configured in response to these suggestions and
whatever else you think it needs, what do you think about announcing
this
great resource to our various lists?

Perhaps even with an echoing of the call for new membership that Kelly
put
out after CCCCs? 

We keep rolling this fabulous stuff in front of everyone we are bound
to
force that productive visibility within the CCCC (and outside) that we
were
talking about. 

Thanks, 
Shannon

Here¹s the problem: When you google ³Journal of Basic

³BWe²
(etc), our pages don¹t come up. We need to fix that. Google
> ³Conference
on
Basic Writing² and you get our page now. But folks need to be
> able to
find
our publications too.

Thanks, Sylwester!
