Just yesterday, I added a new feature to the right sidebar on my page, below my recent posts and above my Twitter feed, called “What I’m Reading.”
This is a widget designed to feed the stories I linked from Publish2, a collaborative journalism platform which, among its features, powers “link journalism.” It allows news organizations and journalists to take the links they read and share them in one spot with one click of a button. If you are a journalist, I highly recommend getting an account with Publish2.
In a nutshell, I will take any links which I feel are worthy of reading and link it with Publish2, which will enter the feed on that right side. Soon, I may organize them into topics, such as New Media/Journalism and Sports. (Which I mean to cover more often, but haven’t quite gotten there yet) Anything you find under “What I’m Reading,” at least to me, is a highly recommended read.
Click here to subscribe to the RSS feed. I will add this under the widget soon, too.
Special thanks to Daniel Bachhuber, who designed the widget and helped me with an error during installation.
Another update on my sidebar: I’m continuing to add more links (below the Twitter feed) and organize them into different categories, such as journalism, blogroll and so on. Later today, I will add another category of places where to find me, such as Publish2 and Flickr.
Obviously, with me just entering my third week with this site, additions and fixes virtually are mandatory. Feel free to comment and give suggestions on what else you would like to see!
