(Awesome work by my daughter. All PSA’s should be done by her, regardless of subject.)

A news Web site goes Facebook-only
The publishers of all-volunteer local news blog Rockville Central made an unusual leap in March: They bagged their traditional Web site and instead moved their operation entirely to Facebook. The Post’s Ian Shapira chronicled their decision and what it could mean to the media industry. Though the blog has a relatively small reach, their gambit poses a question for the broader media industry. Are journalism outlets taking best advantage of Facebook? Will the role of social networking sites continue to grow when it comes to content aggregation and distribution?
Shapira’s account of the decision is here. And below, Rockville Central’s publishers explain how the maintenance and mechanics of their work has changed since they went all Facebook, all the time.
“Rockville Central: Day to day maintenance”
By Cindy Cotte Griffiths and Brad Rourke
Since we shifted from being a standalone Web site to being all-Facebook, we still have many of the same basic chores to perform to keep content running, but we go about them in a slightly different way.
One change with using Facebook is that things we used to schedule ahead of time now need to be done at publishing time. So, instead of Brad scheduling the week’s “POTD’s” (Picture Of The Day) and letting them publish on their own, on Sunday afternoon Brad will gather the week’s photos and write a Note for each one, saving it as a draft. Then, around 6 each morning, Brad will take that day’s POTD Note and publish it. (Our rules for POTD: The photos must be taken fairly recently, within the Rockville city limits.)

Tape And Glue, by Brad Rourke
I been thinking about the bright and shiny days to come
There’ll be whiskey and porn, enough for everyone
I been keeping it together till the money’s all spent
I found a little bit of heaven but it came and went
It came and went
I’ve got a way to make it through
Held together with a roll of tape and glue
I know what we’re trying to forget
Someday hasn’t ever happened yet
Who’s that knocking trying to get inside
I got a girl around the corner with a wicked pride
She leaves the door ajar and gives me lots of rope
But I never see the trick until I damn near choke
I damn near choke
I’ve got a tiger in my heart
Hope its silver chains don’t come apart
I’m the one who gets in my own way
Tomorrow’s when they promised I’d get paid
Tonight they’re gonna draw the lucky winner
I been thinking about the bright and shiny days to come
There’ll be whiskey and porn, enough for everyone
I been keeping it together till the money’s all spent
I found a little bit of heaven but it came and went
It came and went
Who knows where the bullet’s coming from
I better make today my only one
It’s nice to have you tell me what to do
Even so, mistakes, I’ve made a few

Here’s a new song I wrote, and put together using a new audio setup. It is meant just to demo the song, it is not a finished track. I used Reason (Redrum drum track and Thor bass), Garage Band (guitar amp modeling), and a Blue Snowball mic.
(Note, I got the “whiskey and porn for everyone” line from a poem by Karin L. Burke that I found quite beautiful, I can’t take credit for that phrase.)
