I think a great way to add blogs to our web site would be to introduce a “book-discussion” blog for patrons who use our book club service in Reader Services.  We could post links to resources and web sites, review popular book club books, allow patrons to comment on books or resources they have used.  If we decided to be really daring, we could even start a blog where book discussions happen in the comments section of the blog.  We post a book title and questions, participants add their thoughts and answers through commenting on the blog.

 I am constantly amazed at how easy it is to set up a blog that looks professional, is simple to update, and incorporates all kinds of widgets, RSS, features, photos, etc.  Why isn’t everyone doing their sites this way?  Writing your own HTML seems cumbersome and outdated in comparison.
