How Could We Utilize A Class Website?

I have been pondering the establishment of a class website ("blog"). Do you think there would be any possibilities for our own blog? Classmates only would have access to the blog. You could put your news directly on the blog if you choose and are sufficiently computer literate. Also, in that case you could put your own photos on the blog as well. Anyone who is not comfortable with that could send items to me and I would follow through. I have also set up an exclusive class email address: whs57@gmx.com

I'm sure some of you have some good ideas for all this. Please share them with me and your classmates. I will provide you with the blog password upon request.
Another idea would be to post contact information for those who would like to do so.

We could also have links to those who have their own blogs. I know Dave Burrows has something, Jim Erickson writes a monthly article and then there is the "new" chuckofthewoods.blogspot.com
