What's Up Doc?

In my last post I informed you that we were rebranding the "Put Your Club Online with Blogger" website because much of the content is no longer correct.  I have been working with the new administration panel in Blogger and am happy to report that many of the tasks are the same as before, but the look and feel of the new admin panel is radically different.

Much of the change was driven to redesign the admin panel interface to make it easier to navigate and use.  In fact, it feels like it works faster. The developers at Blogger have even added a few new features including a "mobile" template that presents your blog or website in a form factor designed for smart phones like the iPhone.

"Put Your Club Online with Blogger" has been retired

A shift in focus to social networks

The recent explosion of popular community based network services like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Linkedin has changed the dynamics behind how we use the web to interact with people.  Putting up a website is not the primary means for getting a service club online anymore.  Now it is a mix of different different social networks that can connect us to the correct group of people that becomes important.  It is not just about content, but equally on how we deliver that content and who we direct it at.
