  2. Ask the questions • Start the planning process by asking • What do I want to achieve? • Who do I want to make contact with? • What is the area of interest – reading, family history, films? • What social web tools and services are they likely to be using?

  3. Accept Multiple Solutions • One size won’t fit all • Children • Teens • Senior citizens • Reading groups • Public or private blog • Privacy concerns - teens – wiki instead

  4. Write a business plan • Outline • The specific audience • What you want to achieve • What you intend using • What needs to be done • Set-up • Daily, weekly, monthly effort • Who will be working on it • Solo or team effort • Holiday and illness cover • How you will monitor it (e.g. moderate comments) • How you will measure impact

  5. User Names and Passwords • Think generic not personal • User names • Role or Job title (abbreviate if needed) • Institution and/or Team title • E.g. FashionMuseum, MMAmbassadors • Passwords • May need to share • Insert number within word and add capitals • E.g. Co1St2Um3e • Emails • E.g. youthteam@devon.gov.uk

  6. Think about … • Set-up • First blog post • What this blog is about • Comments allowed? Moderated? • Blog policy – keep it simple, make it public • Regular input • Keeps people interested • Blogs – weekly posts minimum • Tweets – use feeds from blogs and Facebook accounts

  7. Plan ahead … • For blogs • Schedule non-time dependent pieces • Service profiles (mobile libraries, museum touch sessions) • Meet the staff profiles • Star objects • Guest posts • Staff profiles • Visiting authors or artists • What other (libraries/archives/museums) are doing

  8. What else? • Think about • Checking/deleting spam comments • Every day is good routine • Monitoring impact • Number of followers on Twitter • Visits to Wiki • More people joining reading groups • Good attendance at events

  9. More about Spam • Blogs set for Comments attract spam so: • Turn on the spam filter • Set Comments as ‘moderated’ or check every day • Empty spam folder regularly • Easy to spot spam • Links to sites for viagra, porn • Making money online • Political / religious comment • In a foreign language • Not so obvious spam • ‘Your post (blog) is wonderful’ – check source • Your URLs or RSS feed not working • Can I link to your site? • Extract from one of your posts used as a comment

  10. Plan How to Close Down • Think about and record • Why close down • End of project • Not meeting objectives • How • Close with final post giving status but leave visible • Close and remove • Preservation • External site or internal? • Snapshot or whole thing
