Announcing Our New . . .
We're not sure what to call it. Compendium seems the best term, but a bit over the top. Amalgam — too dental. Blog — too, well, bloggish. Corpus — creepy. Assemblage, collation, accumulation, gathering — oh, heck with it.
How about — Where We Put Lots of Miscellaneous Stuff We Think You Will Be Interested In.
Essentially, we are doing a bit of E-C-R-S, which stands for Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, and Simplify.
The idea is simply this: we are combining all the multifarious email and web communications we have with LensWork readers into one compendium. Rather than having separate . . .
- Podcast
- Tech Blog
- Ask Brooks Blog
- Weekly News & Info Emails
- Alumni News emails
- Twice weekly Alumni Spotlights
- Vision of the Heart blog
- Alumni Spotlight
- Podcast email announcements
. . . we are combining all of this into one, new project called LensWork Daily. This combined whatever has the advantages of:
- Giving our readers a single location for everything
- Much easier for us to create and post
- Design consistency
- Category tagging so you can see only a filtered subset of posts that interest you
- Cross-fertilization of our various reading groups
- Automatic RSS feeds to email, browsers or other aggregators (and we'll be providing tutorials for those of you who are not familiar with this)
- You can receive new posts in your email
- You can monitor new posts using your browser's RSS tracking
- Or you can bookmark the main web page http://daily.lenswork.com and stop by whenever you want to catch up.
And most importantly, because LensWork Daily uses a post/comment format, you can add your thoughts to the discussion via comment posting and share ideas with the community at large.
We call it LensWork Daily because we have so much content to share that it works out we actually do something every day — well, at least Monday through Friday. Because these things have been scattered in a number of different areas, we know some of you haven't been aware of all the content we publish. Now, with this unified approach, you'll be able to more easily keep up with all there is to see.
So, this blog — technology.lenswork.com — is being terminated and all its previous and future content can now be found at http://daily.lenswork.com. Pop over there and reset your bookmarks, RSS feeds, and take a look at our new combined, amalgamated, unified whatever-we-should-call-it!
Enjoy!
