One of the groups that I am helping with their blog has inadvertently created a blog team. The facilitators had inadvertently invited all the group members to join the blog team. They are realizing that with this format that they can have "threaded discussions", something that was more difficult in our original format in which only the group facilitators could post and everyone else commented. The facilitators are excited about the potential. A more participatory environment is created, with the posts coming from the participants and not just the facilitators.
I also helped a school principal set up a blog for the study group he has set up for his schools. He, too, was delighted to have the blog set up and configured for him.
I find myself setting up blogs with colleagues, being a co-administrator on their blogs, and guiding them along in the setup and configuration. Many of these blogs are for use by a group and many are semi-private - not listed in the blogrolls and not indexed by the search engines. I am thrilled to see the growing enthusiam for blogging in my extended work community.
