Forget all that stuff I said about moving too fast. I’ve decided I’m going to create one Web log a day as a surprise “gift” to various clubs and teams and teachers. Today’s winner is the Student Council. I’ll let the advisers know it’s there and have them let me know if they want to see how it all works. Next, let’s see…how about the Girls Soccer Team? And then, maybe Ed the math teacher for his Let’s Make a Deal idea. We’ve already got over 100 sites working, mostly personal student sites. But two days ago, Chinese Honor Society started up, and I keep hoping that as people see what’s up, they’ll want their own. Now I really have to make a couple more templates…

I may be naive, but wouldn’t it be cool if the Website became a place where people went for some interesting diversion too? I remember when we started a BBS here about 50 years ago and people would call in just to do Word Nerd. This could be so much cooler. (I know, I know, wake up. The Hurricane knocked me senseless.) We could have a whole bunch of puzzlemasters doing their own thing in their own Web logs getting people’s answers. Hey, a guy can dream…
