New World Blogging - It's kind of a more convenient, more interactive, more interesting newsletter with more depth, a bigger audience, and more channels. If it could replace a newsletter it might be cost-effective, too, or if it could bring in new visitors. Still might need ways for people to request print/mail version only.

Audiences, Visitors, Users - Excellent discussion of the difficulties involved in knowing who is looking at your web site and what they are getting out of it. It's no wonder people often tend to just go along with the hype and imagine that the hyperreal has to be done--you'll surely look rather silly if you don't. Yet there are just as surely good and bad web sites, so paying attention to it, how it can be made better, etc is said here to be worthwhile. Part of it I think is simply building up a community of interest and involvement, making your museum known in the world of knowledge and information, and communicating your message--esp to those who listen to it.
