For the record, I am willing and happy to work with anyone wishing
to add something to the Beacon. Since February 1 some 1600+ people have
hit the Beacon front page with 13% doing it with graphics browsers (a gain
of about 1% per issue - people are hitting our website more with PPP) and
around 5% of them read the news page.
For more exposure (it is after all one of the best community net
newsletters on the web - check it out for yourself if you doubt this - and
THE best in Canada, bar none. Our writers have been doing an excellent
job.), one thing could be for the long overdue home page overhaul to
use a graphic for the Beacon link (available upon request). This would
make it stand out a little for someone who casually stumbles across our
home page.
The recent Y2K press release was a start - at least the rest of
Halifax media know we're here now. Anything more has to come from CCN -
like the communications committee, I don't work in a vacuum (but it sure
feels like it sometimes) and I can't help to publicize initiatives that
aren't happening. I can't update a news page with news if no one is doing
anything. There is a particular vacuum WRT IP news - there must be all
kinds of activity in the IP directories, the daily hits log bears this
out, but I don't hear of any of it so it doesn't go into the Beacon.
