GCSS Community Events

by Eric Pudalov, Community Events Coordinator

At the suggestion of Sherry Heyl, our Internet networking advisor, I've decided to switch the location of our GCSS blog (or at least the Community Events part of it).

According to her (and another friend of mine who also works with a non-profit organization), Blogger/Blogspot aren't considered the most professional of websites for business blogs. WordPress, however, has a better reputation with professional bloggers.

I already have a personal WordPress account, and could easily set up one for GCSS. When I do, I'll make sure to notify everyone (as a matter of fact, I may set it up today). If I can figure it out, I'll try and link our Twitter and Facebook accounts to the new blog as well.

Most of these things, in retrospect, are rather simple; they just take a bit of time. Since this blog seems to only get the occasional reader anyway, I'm feeling positive about the transition to WordPress anyway.

As soon as it's up, I promise to e-mail everyone and let them know. I look forward to hearing from you! Happy holidays, once again!

P.S. Don't worry, I've run this by Evan...so it wasn't entirely an impulsive decision on my part.

Due to my having a lot on my plate last month, and failing to make our calendar a priority, I was a little delayed in getting it out to everyone.

I promise to make sure that doesn't happen this month, despite Christmas and New Year's Eve being just around the corner. So luckily, there are plenty of activities going on in the Atlanta-Metro area, and I just need to be a good Coordinator and sniff them out.

In addition to the usual list of events, however, I'd like to focus the blog even more on happenings related to people with disabilities. So, at least once a week, I'm going to search for disability-related news items that you all might enjoy.

Sound good? As always, if anyone has an event and/or news item to suggest for the blog, you're more than welcome to e-mail or call me about it. Thank you again for being a great team.

Due to feedback from a trustworthy source, I've realized that the original look and feel of this blog wasn't appropriate to GCSS.

So, as you can see, this is the current one, borrowed from Blogger Templates. Ideally, I'd like to have the same graphics that are on the GCSS homepage decorating the blog, but at the moment, I hate to admit, I'm uncertain as to their location! That would likely be a question for Kevin or Sari.

More News Is Good News

As you may already be aware, the Fall 2009 newsletter is available, both online and in print form. If you haven't yet had the chance to read it and wish to do so, just click here: About Us: Press Room - Newsletters

Not to toot my own horn, but this is the first time that I've contributed to the newsletter, and I certainly hope that my additions have had a positive affect. One was a brief article entitled "Transitioning to the Cyber-Age," in which I described our use of Twitter and Facebook as promotional tools. The other is, in fact, one of my blog entries that Amanda Duckworth wanted to include because of its relevance to the holiday season.

If and when you have the opportunity to read the newsletter, the directors of GCSS (and I, their humble supporter) would appreciate your feedback! Thank you. More to come...
