Blog
The Blog module opens lines of communication between administrators and citizens, increasing government transparency and citizen interaction. The Blog establishes an open dialogue between citizens and their government that can be moderated before publishing live to the website.

| Examples of How This Module Can Be Used |

| Potential Enhancements |
| + This module does not archive posts into date-driven links like most other blog software; if you continue adding posts, the page just gets longer. RATIONALE: Individual posts can be archived and the public has the ability to search the archives, giving administrators the flexibility to leave more important posts live, front and center, rather than simply being pushed off the page. Additionally, the main view presents posts in a shortened display, allowing users to click and read the full text, which saves on page length. |
