Pride, or relief?

I think what I feel about the launch, finally, of the new Friends of the Columbus Metro Library website, is a combination of both. I’m proud of the site, it’s not everything I wanted, but when you’re working with a designer and a committee, that’s to be expected. (Mostly, the big thing I think is missing right now is an RSS feed, but given the audience of the site I ultimately realized that wasn’t as big a deal to pretty much everyone else, so I compromised. I suppose I could always find a service to scrape the “news and events” page to create my own RSS feed. Or we can add it later.)

On the other hand, this has been such a long process that I also just feel relieved that all that time and effort has come to something!

Now I get to go to work with keeping it updated and using it to highlight what the Friends contribute to the Library. Hopefully, I’ll get lots of help with that!

  • Linked – The 1 Major Skill That Most Employees Say Their Bosses Lack

    Every poor manager I’ve ever dealt with has been a poor communicator. Almost every shortcoming or problem I’ve seen people have with a manager or coworker could be filed under a problem with communication. It’s THE thing in the workplace. Ideas, expectations, priorities, and everything else in the workplace come down to the ability to communicate. If you cannot communicate clearly, you are lost, and the people who work for you or lost.

    Yet how many organizations promote the top performer or their most senior individual contributor without ever considering whether they are good communicators? And how many prioritize teaching them how to communicate as managers?

    The recent news that the RIAA wants ISP’s to start paying a tax for their customers file sharing raises a number of interesting questions. To me, this has always been the “tipping point” of sorts for the whole file-sharing question. It was inevitable that the RIAA and MPAA would go after ISP’s. There’s no cost-effective…
