Progress so far

OK, I've invited a few people to be authors, more or less for demonstration purposes.

And I've created a Flickr group for CreateSouth, populated with bogus images, for demo purposes.

The next thing I'll need is some way of displaying what's near the top of the Flickr queue as a sidebar widget, but I just haven't found anything that works. Oh well. That's a bell/whistle (a bistle?).

Still looking into possible "cell-direct-to-blog" audio solutions, but they may be too complex. Utterz is good, but not nimble enough to change from your personal site to a breaking news site, on the fly, from the field. BlogTalkRadio has uses, including the RSS feed it generates. Haven't tried Twittergram yet...

Final steps? Well, the big one is to subscribe to this blog via an RSS reader, but also to change the CSNewsNet Twitter account to a device alert, completing the loop from mass input to second-stage filtering to automated output and attention grabber.
