editor Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 For those of you curious about the new Houston Architecture Blogs, you can try it out here:http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/HABlogs/Right now it's just populated with a bunch of bogus text to fill space.Not all of the features work, but give it a run-through and let me know what you think needs to be fixed.

editor Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Looks good. Is it too complicated to add a little box showing the last 5 updated threads of the forum? That might be a good way to get more people involved here.Also, I'm not a "blogger" so I have to ask, are blogs editorals (opinion based) or are they reports (factual based)?GlenAs part of the blog rollout, I'm also putting together a new front page for Houston Architecture Info that will look like Glass Steel and Stone. It will include the most recently updated blog entries, as well as the most recent posts. Or at least, I hope it will. Since I didn't design the database for the forum, it's a little hard for me to understand. I'm not a programmer. But I'll give it my best shot.As for blog content, it's a mixture of news and comment. Here's a guideline I mentioned earlier:The blog should be a combination of news tidbits and insights on what is going on. Great pains should be taken NOT to reprint newspaper stories. I've had enough problems with lawyers threatening copyright lawsuits this year, I don't need any more. Here's a quick, and very incomplete rule of thumb for the blog: If what you're writing is a fact that most people won't know, try to mention the source, or somewhere people can look it up. If you're stating your opinion, make it pretty clear that it's your opinion. Let people know outright if you have to. Don't present opinions as facts. Optinion posts are more than welcome, but they should be well-reasoned. Think of it as the editorial section of the newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I liked your blog comments on "The Aviator". At one point in the movie Howard Hughes refers to Houston as something like "a pestilential swamp". Ouch! At least the audience laughed at it.
