Hey Joe,
Does this forum sofware that you're using come with a Blog add-on module? I know some forum packages do. It would be cool if members could create blogs here like I've seen in other close-knit community forums...

Great idea, Sherri,
I'll be in Botswana starting late April and intend to blog...so it'd be cool if I could use the KF site for that!

Interesting idea. I don't know if there are any blog add-ons for this particular forum but I can check. If there isn't, I'm sure I can fiddle with the settings to create something blog-ish.  |

I've been administrating and moderating a pretty big forum for a few years.
Because we couldn't have a blogfunction, we had a part of the forum where people could open there own "diary"topics. It worked quite well. After a few years whe changed the forumsoftware, and we could add regular Blogs. But that wasn't a big success, people liked it much better the old, -have your own forumtopic- way.
So if Blogs aren't possible for this forum that might be a simple solution as well.

Coming back to this thread as my head turns more and more towards my time in Botswana: I'll be flying April 23.
Joe, have you had a chance to look into blog functions?
Tatiana: You mean simply having a locked topic-thread that only the blogger could post into? How would that work? I am curious...
Thanks
Oli

Oli, you're going to Botswana? How did I miss that? Is this for fun or do you have a mission? Dottie B |

Dottie, yes, seems like I keep mentioning it everywhere, so in fact I am relieved that there are some people that haven't noticed...must mean that I am not trumpeting it all that often than I thought...  I'll be going for three months as part of my legal training. I will be working for the Botswana Centre for Human Rights - Ditshwanelo...that means I believe I will cause them more work than I will actually be able to do for them. But I sure hope I will be able to learn a lot about how human rights work is done in the field. It's a small local NGO with a great reputation and I feel fortunate for having been accepted there. |

But isn't their legal system different from yours? Dottie B |
