Blog Business: New Additions

Two important blog additions: a "How to Subscribe" page (self-explanatory) and a "Subject Guide" page (explained more fully below).

The Welcome post mentioned that "this will be an evolving work." There is definitely a learning curve in creating a blog and a good deal of that is using it enough to identify some of the features that make up a good blog.

Part of the determination in selecting Blogger as the host for this was price (free) and ease of use for training purposes in a classroom. Blogger will likely stay the host for this blog, despite the fact that there are some features missing from the "most wanted" list.

Chief among these is the lack of subject headings (categories in blogspeak) and trackback pings. (For further details, there are some great posts about comparing features and some workarounds in the Blogger section of the How To Blog blog.)

In an attempt to pretend that there are categories, there is now a slightly clunky Subject Guide page at the CFLC Web site that will at least give some major groupings for readers who would like to see them. Bear in mind, it is "homemade," not technically part of the blog, and will look different from the blog itself. (See the "Subjects" at the end of this posting.) Trackback pings will just have to wait a while...

Feedback, as always, would be appreciated.
