Now What? How should this blog be organized?

I had a great time yesterday presenting what I have learned about the blogosphere!

We had a well attended CoREM event yesterday at the Forbes Road Technical Center. It started well when I found it not too hard to connect to both the internet and to the data projector on site. The internet connection is through an ethernet wire, and the instructions called for the use of Inernet Explorer instead of my preferred Firefox browser, but it all worked.

I was able to create a new blog for Cas Welch, who was in the front row of the audience. Don't worrry, Cas, I have since deleted it. The point is that the audience saw LIVE the creation of a new blog very quickly. So I hope I removed at least some barriers for people thinking of blogging.

Now the question remains: how should we set up this CoREM leadership blog?

Choices:

1. As is, with one blogger (me for now) who adds posts, and anyone can comment.

2. Change to a group blog, where a number of people can add posts, and anyone anywhere can comment. This could be set up so the only the CoREM board could add posts, or so that, possibly, any paid-up CoREM member could add posts.

3. Split the blog into 2, where one is a group blog just for the board, and no outside comments, and the other looks out to the membership and the outside world. At the moment, I am leaning toward something along this line.

So, anyone reading this, post a comment with suggestions, thoughts, or ideas on how CoREM should set up its blog(s). If you are a CoREM member, mention that in your comment.
