As we look at where to put resources, it very much becomes a put your resources where your hits are kind of equation. <BR/><BR/>I do, however, agree with you that we should do more to pull out our archived coverage on stories. I think sometimes that just becomes someone saying, "hey, remember that video/slideshow/audio we had with the whozit story? we should pull it out for this."<BR/><BR/>And yahoo for the clouds!Leslie Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17729015289411256436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462769615692467456.post-5194888587304897472007-06-13T08:13:00.000-04:002007-06-13T08:13:00.000-04:00Off topic:LOVE the label cloud, whoever did it.

One thought on content: Now that we have a "taxonomy" (right word?) of categories, we ought to try often to keep new posts within those labels, or at least that's my goal when posting. Of course, adding a new label like "McClatchy" that should exist is necessary; we should just think carefully and look at existing labels before creating new ones.<BR/>Awesome blog, y'all.Andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611584722138503167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462769615692467456.post-38337544826933553212007-06-13T08:12:00.000-04:002007-06-13T08:12:00.000-04:00Off topic:LOVE the label cloud, whoever did it.

There's only space for the top 10 or so breaking stories on the home page.<BR/><BR/>And, like with the Nifong story, which we knew would be big all day -- why don't we have links to past coverage? graphics? video clips? audio?<BR/><BR/>Some of these stories we know in advance are going to break throughout the day. We need to be the site that provides the updates. As much as <B>I</B> may look for big national/international stories and celeb stories (together, these make up the top 8 spots or so on the home page), I wouldn't think there's much reason for most readers to. <BR/><BR/>Play up local. Keep it fresh. Keep it interactive. Keep it multimedial(?)Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703721291308301942noreply@blogger.com
