It’s about time I got on top of my blogging, recent workloads mainly to do with the new student news website, have limited the time i have to blog. However the News Website, www.alfieonline.org is, although still very much a work in progress, really starting to take shape. As sports editor i am finding it a great experience for me to realise not only the issues you face as a editor with ensuring you have copy, and it is recent and relevant but also you have to be an excellent communicator and have the ability to organsie a small team. The future promises alot more from ‘Alfie Online’ than what it currently demonstrates. The site soon will incorporate ‘podcasts’ in most catergories, interactive features such as surveys and opinion polls are also expected to appear soon, so check regularly. Although produced with students firmly in mind, it is hoped Alfie will attract attention from further afield. In order to achieve this I recognise that ‘search engine optimisation’, that Chris Horrie has mentioned on the message board, is a concept the Alfie team really need to get a grasp of. Although im sure Lucia already ahs this in mind as part of her 36 hour days, to which she intends to add the role of Communications officer! Anyway take time to appreciate the work of Lucia and the other editors and the many other people involved with AlfieOnline and get involved!!!

It is good if one of you lot becomes union communications officer, because that means budget cash to set up yet more cunning media projects. SEO would work in a slightly diffrent way, because you are targeting a defined audience, and not just trying to hook in passing trade…
