I have been really quiet on this blog lately due to a really hectic month speaking at Conferences (both NJLA and CIL) and also because of a really big project that I spearheaded at MPOW for National Poetry Month. With the help of Evan Klimpl (a tech aide), we mounted the PPL Poetry Podcast Blog. This is the first time that I have been involved with a large scale podcasting project and I learned so much as a result (as did all involved). The response from the public far exceeded our expectations – over 5,200 visitors to the blog in a month! I had hoped to maybe have one to two thousand visitors and when our numbers climbed to that amount in the first weeks I was both shocked and ecstatic. Best of all, we did this project for no cost except staff labor and the price of a good mircrophone (about $35).
I posted more about this over at Library Garden in a post called Plogging for Poetry Month you want to read up on it!
