In LB Enfield we are considering creating a public blog to report back on the
progress of a library refurbishment project, and encourage community
feedback and involvement in project developments.
We are also setting up an Advisory Board to - as you might imagine - advise
and inform our decision making. There is a proposal that Enfield Libraries would
host (or co-host) the blog on behalf of, or with, the Advisory Board. If we are
really ambitious, we may consider setting up an additional blog for teenagers -
either separate from the initial blog or (we're not sure how...) interdependent.
Has anybody any experience of hosting (or co-hosting) a blog on behalf of
somebody else? If so, did it work? What were the pitfalls? - if you successfully
avoided them, how? Is this a workable format for teenagers? What
arrangements were in place for moderating contributions?
Thoughts, opinions, constructive or destructive comments all welcomed.
Thanks.
