Introduction

Message Boards

What is it? A protocol that allows visitors to a web site to post messages... other can post replies

Why do I want one? This is a great tool for announcing events... also for soliciting feedback on work

Where do I get one? Several are available for free... I use Simple Machines which allows multiple users to blog on a single installation.

What should I worry about? Managing users... it is easy to set up users... but users must be set up... think 1 minute to set up each user

Moderating use... think about who is going to keep an eye on what is posted

Can I see an example? WRS ~ www.taconic-learning.net
