Time for the next step

So it seems like we've tinkered around enough to get this blogging thing figured out, at least enough to be dangerous. And with that, it's time to take it to the next level, namely to link into it from the MIP Web page (www.mip2006.com) and start putting up some information on MIP entries. That we'll get to shortly.

However, in the true spirit of blogging, the thought occurs to me that someone out there might be interested in the development process we've gone through -- short though it has been -- and our continuing thought process, too (which may also be on the short side). So I'm going to link to the this developmental, prototypical blog from the MIP page, and we'll keep it going as long as we need to for experimenting with before we go live with new features.

For example, Ted was at a decorative concrete demonstration last Friday. I know he took some photos and got some good information. How does it fit in with MIP? Don't know for sure -- maybe the sponsoring company will enter something -- but in the mean time we'll probably post a little something here and see how it works. Let us know how it strikes you. You can comment on this post, or, if you don't want to register as a blogger, just send an email to tklemens@hanleywood.com.

Oh, and another thing. I'm working with Susan Clancy, who has been putting together the World of Concrete seminar program for a good long while now -- she really knows her stuff -- on developing a blog that would give up-to-the-minute updates on what's new to the 2006 seminar program. Any thoughts? Anything you'd like to know along those lines? Let us know. And thanks for your interest.
