From here forward the calls will be at noon Wednesdays, with the same call information. Dial 1-712-432-3000 and enter bridge #901881 .

We’re getting a little bit of a late jump on it this year, but I think we can have all the big decisions made fairly quickly.

Here is the automated Grand Strand Blogger roundup for January 21, 2009.

The previous way of doing the automated blog roundups just wasn’t working right, so I replicated the WordPress plugin on my Mac. This is not an automated process now, it’s more of a semi-automatic. It requires me to actively kick it off, but it only takes a few seconds of work instead of an hour. I’m still interested in how useful people find these automated roundups. It’s not quite the selectivity and doesn’t include the summary of when someone does it by hand, but you can’t beat the labor savings.
