Today, I added our blog network's first collaborator, the almighty Liz Lucas. In the near future, the plan is to have many more people involved with this project so that we can digitally recreate a camp community that transcends our shared geographic obstacles.
That said, in order to convey information properly, a certain unison will be required in order to avoid disorganization and atrophy.
Firstly, this is a blog regarding things pertinent to Camp Pico Blanco in general. There are other blogs in the network, and hopefully more will be added. So, if you have an interesting how to guide to build the perfect campfire, contribute it to the Scoutcraft blog, not here. The same goes for crew 699 business. If you have something to contribute that doesn't fit within any of the established blogs, you are more than welcome to create your own and add it to the network, specifically for the interests of the other areas in camp like nature or aquatics.
So, what should be added to this blog? That answer is found by going back to the details of a Crew 699 meeting in camp at the end of staff week. It was determined by the crew members that the council website has been insufficient with its promotion of camp. As camp staffers, we are in a better position to provide all the juicy details about how awesome our neck of the woods is. So it was decided to work on some sort of promotional material to distribute around and garner interest in Camp Pico Blanco. Later that summer, I came up with the idea of utilizing digital collaboration methods in order to help Crew 699 maintain activity in the off season and keep its momentum running throughout the year. And thus, I started the blog network. This particular weblog is to achieve the means of a crew goal from that meeting.
This blog's purpose to to promote Camp Pico Blanco as well as its traditions and history. Therefore, only posts that follow that statement will be kept posted.
For organizational structure, certain tags are to be followed. So far, we have the News tag for developing information regarding camp, a Songbook tag for the songs, and an Admin tag for administrative notices such as this post. If a new tag is needed, go ahead and make a new one, but all posts will be subject to retagging.
As for grammar and syntax, don't worry too much. If you have something important to contribute, go ahead and contribute. We'll get around to fixing errors like that eventually. It's better to have vital news littered with spelling and grammatical errors than to have no news at all.
In regards to opinion posts, those are welcome in the posts and comment sections, for now. If you have an opinion post, please tag it as such. This is all subject to change if things get ugly or if people start trying to pass opinion as news.
And so, I welcome you all to the Camp Pico Blanco Blog!
