<FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Hi, all--<BR>
<BR>
Liz: I LOVE the blog! It looks wonderful and it really is so easy to navigate. Loaded with fabulous information. Thank you SO much for doing this! What a great service to the organization. <BR>
<BR>
Got my butt in gear to get revision suggestions to Sylwester (for the website). I see these two spaces as working together already, but I’d love for us to chat some over the coming about how to make the best use of the relationship. I’m new to blogs and totally excited about ‘em now! But still pretty ignorant there. <BR>
<BR>
All: I’m sharing the changes I sent to Sylwester to be added to the CBW pages, and I suspect those will be ready in the next couple of weeks. Any other updates/suggestions would be appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
I’m thinking it might be quite useful to duplicate some of the info at the blog. What do you think, Liz? Are these additions others can help with? I’m so new to all this. Changes to the website are cumbersome, so changes are often a little slower. Quick with blogs, right Liz?<BR>
<BR>
On the CBW Workshop: Hannah and I are visiting soon and will begin sharing a flurry of drafts with you again in the next couple of weeks. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
Shannon<BR>

<BR>
5. Search terms<BR>
You might want to work with Michael on this, though I can show you how to get into the code and monkey with this. (Okay, I can’t. I’m looking at the code now and I don’t know where the labels go. Liz?<BR>
<BR>
Here’s the problem: When you google “Journal of Basic Writing” or “BWe” (etc), our pages don’t come up. We need to fix that. Google “Conference on Basic Writing” and you get our page now. But folks need to be able to find our publications too. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks, Sylwester!<BR>
