ArchitectureWeek Notes 2008.0307

Fri Mar 7 13:19:38 PST 2008

Dear ArchitectureWeek Readers,

Between regular issues this week, I'd like to share some new
features of our blog center, aka "the blogatorium".

The basic idea of the ArchWeek blog center is to bring together
dozens of independent architecture-related blogs into one
collection, organized together.  With these new features, and
your participation, the blog center is really coming into its own.

   http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/blogs/

You can view all the entries sorted together for the more-than-
two-dozen included blogs by...

   - Most Recent (timeliness, by date and time of publication)
   - Highest Rated (quality, by ArchitectureWeek reader star ratings)
   - Most Visited (popularity, by clickthroughs of ArchitectureWeek readers)

And you can use these same options for any of the individual blogs.
Some of the busy group blogs are active enough that extra sorting 
and sifting can be really helpful!

There's also a link to suggest any great blog we haven't connected
up with yet.

	** ArchitectureWeek is a green publication.  By publishing 
	this professional design and building magazine online only, 
	we save about 48 tons of paper monthly, equivalent to about 
	50 large trees every week - some 2500 trees saved per year, 
	compared to reaching a similar readership on paper - not 
	counting these newsletters!  Our offices are powered by 100% 
	wind energy through our local electric utilities.

    Reduce your carbon footprint:  Read ArchitectureWeek online, 
    and drop that old paper-based-monthly subscription!
