Our Dean Delegate/Bloggers Make The Waterloo Courier

DFIA's Delegate/Bloggers, Darrell Lewis of Clear Lake and Christina Butts of Des Moines, made the Waterloo Courier yesterday in a story on blogging and the convention.  Was rather surprised that Blog for Iowa did not get a mention, since I provided that reporter with 90% of the material he ended up using and since both our bloggers are sharing their insights and experiences with us.  I will, however, settle for not getting the blame for his spelling Darrell's name wrong!  LOL

Blogging your way through the Dem. convention

Waterloo/Cedar Fall Courier

BOSTON - Iowans who don't want to stay glued to their televisions have a new way to keep track of the happenings at the Democratic National Convention in Boston this week.

Meet blogs, short for Web logs.

A Web log allows a person from the delegation to post frequent updates about what their delegation is doing at the convention. With no editors and no deadlines, blogs offer a raw account of the events.

Two Iowa delegates are blogging from the convention, offering Iowans an inside view of the event. Christina Butts of Des Moines and Daryl Lewis of Clear Lake are running separate blogs.
