Your Turn to Update the Daily Paul

Dear Friends,

I will be away from the computer for most of the weekend, so it is up to you to keep the site updated! Anyone who registers to the site can post to the Forums section. I have set up a new 'events' forum so that anyone can post notices of upcoming events that they would like to see publicized.

Thank you all for your offers of help and suggestions for hosting providers. I'm looking them over and trying to figure out the best solution. Once I get the hosting situation stabilized, I'm looking to open up the Daily Paul so that others can post to it more easily, but I'm not sure how to go about that.

Recently I've been thinking about how to make the Daily Paul a little more accessible to everyone. I've given a few people blogging permissions, and anyone can post to the forum, but things still seemsnot as smooth as I'd like.

The main thing seems to be I'm the bottleneck. People email me (a lot!) saying, "Have you heard about this?" "Can you post my site/event/video to the front page (and make it sticky at the top!)" "Check out this article", etc., not to mention letters that begin, "Dear Dr. Paul..." All of this needs editing, but the job is getting bigger and bigger, and it is something that I'd rather share with everyone doing a little rather than me doing it all. Its getting to be a little overwhelming and all-consuming. I never have thought of this as "my" site, but rather just a tool in the greater cause.

For now, I'd like to ask for a brainstorm on what what purpose this site should serve, and how it can be best accomplished by all of us working together.

Thank you all for your input. Please post your comments below so that everyone can benefit from them, rather than emailing them directly to me.

Best regards for a great weekend!
