I will get the kids reading, commenting, and if they want, starting their own blog. Then we'll see how it goes. Clay, great.

I can't wait to watch this grow.

After that, contributions from "non-staff" writers will be actively solicited, and surely the best contributors can expect to be invited to become staff writers, linked on blogroll, etc. (Which sort of presupposes that they have an active blog they care about ;-) ) So stay in touch. Maybe I'll see you Friday when I'm in BKK? Hi Dennis,

So stay in touch. Maybe I’ll see you Friday when I’m in BKK?

In Bangkok are students are just getting their feet wet in blogging and sharing their voice this way, but we have the student body that NEEDS to contribute to this environment. I'd love to get them involved. I am following up with my English teachers tomorrow and will put the search out there for interested students. Thanks for doing this...even if I can't get kids in, it's still going right into my netvibes. This sounds awesome.

IM is quick, slangy and hip. It can coexist with, but never replace, the thoughtful essay or lovingly crafted missive. Journals and handwritten letters are no longer common - blogs fill the void for many aspiring writers.
