initiating the new FWOL blog

so. we've tried html-based guestbook scripts. we've tried high-end subscription community bbs services. matching our community's needs with a simple, responsive, and affordable technology has been a challenge. getting a critical mass of users participating regularly enough to justify and satisfy individual posts and queries has been a challenge-- especially when "we" the site's administrators struggle to check in here regularly, given the pressures of our own full-time academic work, etc.

so here's an attempt from another angle: a blog. we've used blogs elsewhere for other purposes and found this technology to be surprisingly user-friendly and dynamic. therefore we're giving it a whirl for the purposes of fieldworking online. we've constructed this as a "team" blog--the team being any and all participants interested in working with and sharing FieldWorking concepts and pedagogical practices-- please count yourself welcome as a member of that team, and send sarah an email requesting an official subscription invitation. it's pretty straight-forward, but if you hit a snag, sarah can try to help you unravel that, too.
