New weblog clients

Four new small weblog clients this month:

Rebecca Sterner, magazine publishing consultant; a tattoo & body piercing shop; a construction company; a MN legislator. I’ll post links to the latter three as soon as they’re up.

Civic Journalism Web Forum

I have a new contract to facilitate two web forums for Len Witt and colleagues at Kennesaw State University who are trying to create a Civic Journalism Professional Organization.
