These tools are likely to completely revolutionize the importance of mobile technology and take MoJo training to a new level. Other J schools: take note.

Around the Network

Conversation on the forum was light this week with Andrew Spittle of the Whitman Pioneer asking for feedback on the upcoming Web Design Collaboration Series that is likely to take place this summer.

Responses came in quite quickly with several community members saying they would be on board for the project and even offered their own ideas.

Kevin Koheler suggested,

Instead of focusing each session on a particular WordPress trick or CSS technique, perhpas it’d be better to focus on a particular element of news site design. List of potential topics:

  1. Article pages
    • Typography: headlines, body text, etc
    • Photos, captions
    • Media – slideshows, video, maps
    • Sidebars
    • Links, and other attachments
    • Comments
  2. Advertisements
  3. Navigation
  4. Front page
  5. Breaking news
  6. Blogs

On the wiki this week, Lauren updated and organized the CoPress Network Page while Emily updated this week’s TWiC show notes with Max Cutler and Richard Baskin of Courant News.
