What makes a great website?
1. Focus
2. Depth
3. Value
Generally, value comes from:
1. Updated content
2. Value items
3. Resource tools (podcasts, videos, blog posts, news feeds, quotes, documents or lesson ideas, etc.)
Enable the comment tool so that people can be part of the conversation.
Caution: I like to be able to approve or trash comments before they are posted.
