Rethinking this Blog

Hopefully this blog has been a tool that has allowed for increased participation and discussion.  It seems that only few people have taken advantage of the blog though....

I am wondering if it makes more sense to setup a ning account---similar to the one used by earth house. it seems to be working very well for the collective.

 this will achieve the same goal of a blog but allow for more conversatons and different types of conversations to go on at the same time.  there is also more of a personal feel to the conversation because everyone has their picture posted and allows for individual communications.

just a thought but check out ning.
