Maybe I should have realized sooner to click *Go* next to View Blog to see that the blog has much more than the three most recent blog posts that appear on the group's main page. Had I realized this yesterday, I would have seen the blog post "Blog Content, E-Mail Options, and Action Items" (thank you User from Eugene, OR) about the Yahoo group and I would not have posted my own blog post "Group Communication" to which only one--albeit uninformative--comment has been made.
Had I seen the "Blog Content, etc." post yesterday, I would have already requested to subscribe to the Yahoo group, which I'm guessing is where discussion has gone since I'm no longer receiving emails from the listserv. Maybe I'm wrong.
My point is that after a flurry of listserv emails, suddenly they were none, and I was left wondering where everyone was. I believe I read all of the emails before deleting them. However, I remember only that suggestions were made about using Yahoo and Wiki-things. I don't remember definitive actions. Maybe I'm wrong.
I am going to suggest to barackobama.com to make availabe to groups a place for Group Announcements. I will also suggest that group administrators have the option to *stick* an informative blog post (akin to a group announcement) at the top of the three blog posts that appear on the group's main page. I am a group administrator for a small group, so this would be helpful to all, I would think.
Is using the "Contact Us" form (under Get Involved at the top of every page) the best way to make suggestions to the website? I have already sent a couple of comments using that and have received generic responses. I assume staff members are doing their best with all the questions they are likely receiving.
On another note but related to communicating, would someone be willing to write a blog post (a new blog post, not a comment to this one) to educate non-Wiki users on how to use Wiki? I, for one, would really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading this, and I welcome any comments.
