	'''Blogs''' are narratives from people using oe tools. We recently found a way to place multiple wordpress blogs into the joomla site, which means people have independent wordpress blogs (no reason for everyone who wants to contribute to learn Joomla) within the site that are integrated to the site's other features as well as the other blogs. I think we should encourage key people/places developing and deploying oe tools with us to have their own blogs. We should import the current ~~openfarmtech~~.org~~/weblog~~ into the site, rename it factorefarm and have it be our first place/land blog. My friend with land in Pennsylanvia could be a second. As more and more people/places start participating, we can recruit them into our blog network, which will become an exceptional collection of narratives, an awesome media property and source material for people who want to take the insights from the blogs and add them to the wiki, products etc.		'''Blogs''' are narratives from people using oe tools.

We might want to place the directory here...we'll see how it develops.

	==The ~~Open Ecology Blog Network~~==		==The New FactorEFarm.org==

	~~This is a network of independent blogs from people~~ and ~~places that contribute~~ to ~~the open ecology movement. The first of these blogs would be the current Open Source Ecology blog at openfarmtech~~.org. ~~In the interest of making this blog~~ a model for ~~other blogs~~ in the network~~, it should be rebranded as the Factor E Farm blog and focus on the work done on Factor E Farm and the experience of it's members~~. The idea behind encouraging participants to blog independently on their own Wordpress is to make it as easy as possible for them create primary source materials that a team of volunteers can glean important information from, reach out to and even interview/collaborate with them more deeply on the OpenEcology wiki and other resources. The more content people create - especially on their own - the better.		We should rebrand the existing openfarmtech blog factorefarm and move it to factorefarm.org. This allows us to position factorefarm as a model for coworking/hacker/maker space participation in the openecology network.

	I propose ~~create a convention that everyone uses~~ the ~~new~~ 'Twenty Ten' Default Wordpress ~~3.0~~ theme, upload ~~their own~~ banner, and ~~follow (something similar to)~~ the ~~following architecture.~~ http://transformativecommunities.com/openecology/?option=com_wordpress&Itemid=55		In the interest of making factorefarm a model, I propose changing the blog's theme to the 'Twenty Ten' Default Wordpress theme, upload a factorefarm 'brand banner' into the top of the site and loosely following the architectural convention here: http://transformativecommunities.com/openecology/?option=com_wordpress&Itemid=5

			==The Open Ecology Network==
			This is a network of independent blogs from people and places that contribute to the open ecology movement. The first of these blogs would be the current Open Source Ecology blog at openfarmtech.org. The idea behind encouraging participants to blog independently on their own Wordpress is to make it as easy as possible for anyone using/modifying/discussing œtools to create primary source materials. This source material is gold because we'll be able to help people integrate this material into œ resources and their own projects.

			==Usage Examples==

			This is a breakdown of the last three blog posts to explain what content should go on the existing blog and what should go on OE.

			Economy in a Box

			If the 'we got invited' refers to the 'we' of Factor E Farm then this should be posted on the Factor E Farm Blog with a blurb in News>General of OE. If the 'we' refers to the broader OSE/OE community then the entire post should be in the in the News.General site with a blurb on the Factor E Farm site.

			Facebook/Twitter update/link to post with appropriate @ replies and #openecology

			Modular CEB Construction

			On the Factor E Farm Blog
			Scott should write his own introduction - not be introduced by you - so he get's the article attribution in the wordpress database. This makes things cleaner - more networkable.

			OE Social Network Profile
			He should also fill out a profile on the social network and link to it in the blog post. (I'll make the profile fields consistent with the application but there's a bug in the jomsocial we need to fix first.) He should also post videos/photos and join the product groups in which he's working.

			Facebook/Twitter update/link to post with appropriate @ replies and #openecology

			Open Source Power Cube

			On the Factor E Farm Blog
			This should be a blog post announcing factor e farm's release of power cube with links to the cube's product page on openecology.org and development page on the ose wiki. The video is perfect here and should be reposted on the power cube's community group on OE.

			On OE
			A PR style announcement of the release News>Power Cube.

			Product Page
			Marcin, add the following articles under Tools>Power Cube Product - description, features (basic statistics), specifications (you can add your image), ingredients (bill of materials), comparisons.

			OE Social Network Community Group
			Everyone who participated in the construction of the powercube should join the group, upload all their own personal video and photos and conduct discussions here. We'll take the best pics and add them to the product page. People who will take responsibility for the continued development (and support) of the power cube should apply to be admins. You should also repost the release in the announcements area.

	==~~Join the Community~~==		==Organizing Articles with Sections and Categories==

	~~==Join~~ a ~~Project==~~		All articles in Joomla are required to have a section and a category for organizational purposes. We use these to display different types of content. Categories exist within sections so select your section first, then your category.

	~~==Post an Article==~~		The sections/categories are as follows:

			News items show up on the home page and on œ tool pages.
			-General is community news
			-CEB Press is for updates on the development of the CEB Press
			-Power Cube is for updates on the development of the Power Cube

			Tools shows up in the tabbed boxes on tool pages. Do not add content here.
			-CEB Press Description are the items in the CEB Press tabbed box
			-Power Cube Description are the items in the CEB Press tabbed box

			About shows up in the 'Mission' tab. This is static, fixed content, not a place to 'blog.'
			-Vision is open ecology philosophy.
			-œStandards are benchmarks such as œCriteria, œLabel, œLicense
			-Organization is basic info about the project.

			œBlog is - for now - mostly technical updates. When a team emerges to harvest awesome content from the 'places' blogs and to create content itself, we'll expand this out into a 'magazine'. We should talk more about this on the forums.
			-Outreach is communications people are creating to explain OE to others.
			-Opportunities are solicitations for volunteers.

			We'd like to keep people out of the back end where sections and categories are created, especially while we're in Alpha, so let's discuss other sections/categories and arrangements in the forum.
