Your last point makes a lot of sense, John. The people following those feeds are the choir, which is why we need to encourage them with something to sing about.

Thanks, Jean. I'll have to review the documentation we already have and brainstorm some ideas. As for right now, John makes a brilliant point about pushing the blog in other social media outlets. I'm assuming the people in marketing are in charge of updating Twitter. Is the official account @docuf

Could it be four contributors including me? I'd love to help out however possible. Having only just signed up for the email list, I'm a little unsure where to begin helping. Blogging sounds doable. My wordpress account is "timtoe." Please, put me to work! ~Tim On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 9:05 PM, Je
