I dig it. Simple, straightforward in implementation and goals, suggested and researched tools, and stepping up to plate to help moderate. Nice job Angel :)
I'm in favor of migrating the existing wordpress-hosted coworking blog to something that we can install plugins into, theme, etc, having a few moderators take it over, and make it a more viable destination for coworking news. I've already got an account set up for where coworking.com is hosted, I can quickly install another instance of wordpress on the subdomain blog.coworking.com, and invite people to work on it (including pulling over all of the old posts, users, etc from the existing blog). Once everything's moved, we can point blog.coworking.info to the same place since! This sounds like a great way to start generating some activity to be reflected on the coworking.com domain! -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 11:22 AM, Angel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi! > In response to Alex H from another post where he wrote: > "Would love to see a new design for coworking.com's one-pager emerge > to > display this content without losing the current informational elements > that > are there. :) " > > I've been thinking a lot about coworking.com, the current blog and > Wordpress. > At a recent Wordcamp in Boulder, Colorado I learned about a startup > company called Kapost (www.kapost.com).
