iForum Sneak Peek

I’m under my own gun for getting all of our articles ready for the December 5, 2005 planned release of our MCLI iForum– as alluded to earlier, this is going to be a 100% online publication replacing the print/web publication we’d been doing since 2001 (and an earlier version back to 1993).

To do this, I’ve been sweating hard with hammer and anvil on a WordPress publishing platform to pull this off. To set things up, I started by recasting the Spring 2005 last issue onto the new “iForum” site (the little i is a rip on “interactive”). What you can see now is this last issue (eventually all past issues will be moved over to make a nice searchable archive). Compare the old and new (well those are not all that different).

Some of the newer articles are there if you dig around, but that is an exercise left for the reader. Once all the articles are done, the front page will flip to the current issue.

What is new in the new version is a lot more media- we will have 4-6 audio interviews, a few streaming media clips, and some invitations to online discussion.
