[openFIRST-devel] FIRST Blogs (hey... that's kind of nifty)

[Tim G. <ti...@op...>]

Hey,

Well, as most of you already know FIRST Blogs has undergone a revamp 
and is now greatly improved over how things used to be.  If you haven't 
taken a look yet, go see http://blog.openfirst.org  Amongst the changes 
which people will notice there are also a variety of backend changes 
that they probably won't including a moderation system which allows for 
more people to review and approve blogs (so that the queue will be 
handled much more expediently than it has been in the past with just 
me).

Anyway, it may please you to know that there are now roughly 50 blogs 
shown on FIRST Blogs (which more than doubles where we were at the 
start of the weekend).  With any luck when we've got enough bloggers 
people will start to spread it through word of mouth and will being 
submitting themselves (so far most of the blogs have been found and 
added by me).  Some blogs even actually have game hints for the 
upcoming FIRST Robotics season.

I'd also like to welcome Kayla to our team.  She's handling most of the 
moderating of new blogs (e.g. making sure they're not spam blogs and 
are from someone who's actually related to FIRST in some way).

Cheers,

Tim
