BlueBroward.org

The row of icons for Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and other such sites under each blog posting are there so that you can share these entries with others on the web. In many cases, you can share a little commentary of your own (sometimes it might be “this is so stupid!” – nothing says you have to agree with me on anything – but to my mind it’s even better if you can promote something you think is worthwhile).

I’ve added a similar row of icons on the BlueBroward Calendar and plan to do the same with the campaign listings here, so that you can help promote events and campaigns. On the blog, I’m using a freely available WordPress plug-in called Sociable, and I’m mimicking techniques drawn from that tool to add the same sort of functionality elsewhere on the website. That’s in addition to the Facebook-specific integration I added recently.

All this is so that campaigns, causes, events, and ideas posted here (by myself or others) can be shared more widely.

P.S. Help me out here. This blog is open to postings by any member with a BlueBroward password. I tend to post about the techie aspects of running this website and Internet strategies you can apply to your own online political efforts. I’d like to see others who are more knowledgeable than I about issues such as healthcare and the economy adding their voices here.
