Community-generated news
This month we’re excited to announce a new way of aggregating and displaying news on MyMinnesotaWoods.org.
Our “In the news…” box is now set up with an RSS feed. The new list will automatically display any news items tagged in the social bookmarking site del.icio.us.
We’re excited about this approach because it offers the community a new way to contribute content to the site. This is one of several ways that we’re trying to do this.
If you’re not familiar with del.icio.us, it’s a free and simple way to store your bookmarks remotely. This means your bookmarks are accessible from any internet-connected computer. You can easily share your bookmarks, or just as easily keep them private. Learn more about del.icio.us.
If you have a del.icio.us account and want to add news items to our feed, contact Eli or Philip to find out how.

The Blandin Foundation’s Vital Forests / Vital Communities initiative launched a new blog today. They’re planning new posts approximately every other week, with content designed to “advance our shared commitment to promoting the connections between a healthy forest-based economy, healthy forest ecosystems and healthy communities.”
