Blog idea

Would someone like to blog about this? If so, add a note in the comments so we won't have duplicate effort. Thanks crew!
I wanted to let you know about some new developments with respect
to This Goodly Land: Alabama's Literary Landscape, our online literary
map for the State of Alabama (http://www.alabamaliterarymap.org).
If you haven't looked at the home page recently, you should check it
out. We've added a feature we call "This Day in Alabama Literary
History." See what happened on today's date or select any other
month-day combination. (There are still a few blank dates, but we've got
events for over 85% of the calendar year.)
We've also added a video that we made this spring with author Peter
Huggins. Peter talks about the meaning of "place" and recites his
poem "An Airfield in Alabama."
(http://media.cla.auburn.edu/cla/podcasts/peterhuggins.html).
We've just created a blog for This Goodly Land( http://alabamaliterarymap.blogspot.com). We'll be using it to announce
new features (such as the above), new author profiles, upcoming promotional events, etc. We will also use it to call attention to aspects of the site that we feel deserve special notice. You can bookmark the blog site in your Web browser or get updates sent directly to your email address or your RSS feed reader.
We've got 134 author profiles now on the site (up from 60 when we launched in January 2007).

This looks interesting. I'll blog it soon when I get some time.
