The Gang's All Here (Almost)

June 19, 2007 Does anyone remember when we had just one blogger at SLJ: poor, lonely Amy? And bad enough that she was the only one, we stuck her off on some page where even I couldn't find her half the time. Well thankfully Amy stuck in there. 

So when we had a chance to redesign our site--and it prominently featured bloggers--I was delighted. I made it my mission to convince some of the writers in our field who I most respected (and always read) to take a risk and come join slj.com. I hoped to create a family of bloggers that would represent everything that SLJ is about: books, learning, technology, education (not that these are mutually exclusive.) And with the addition this month of Betsy, Joyce, and Marc we're finally there.

What's next? It would be fun to get people in to blog on specific topics for a couple of months or so. Maybe they could respond to a specific issue (remember the 65 percent solution? that would have been perfect for a blog) or just to generate conversation about a topic they're passionate about. Got any ideas?
