A St. Paul-based company named Avenet has a web site creation and content management system called CampaignOffice. I got a call last week from a mayoral campaign inquiring about my weblog coaching services for their candidate who’s using the platform. A weblog feature is not built into the system.
I checked around and noticed that Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak’s using it for his re-election campaign website. He started a campaign blog using Blogger, hosted at Blogspot but bailed on that and moved to a Typepad weblog, probably so that it could be customized to look like the main campaign blog. Wise move.
I’ve contacted Avenet to see if they plan to incorporate a weblog tool into their platform. I did suggest it to their CEO Michael Norton about two years ago.
